Anaerobic Digester Mixer by Landia Helping Yorkshire Water to Net-Zero Carbon by 2030
Two anaerobic digester mixer systems recently supplied by Landia are helping Yorkshire Water to progress with carbon emissions savings toward their target of Net-Zero carbon emission across the company by 2030. High levels of biogas yield are also being achieved which indicate that these digesters are being well-mixed. Read more about the use of this […]
Sewage Sludge Digestion – Ofwat UK Rule Changes Allow Outsourced Treatment
Five years ago, in this article, we announced that sewage sludge digestion would be put out to tender as an outsourced service by many, or all UK water companies. The opinion we gave was that there would be big opportunities from Ofwat for companies to take sewage sludge and co-digest it. We looked forward to […]
Small Scale Anaerobic Digestion for Supermarkets Takes Leap Forward
Small scale anaerobic digestion for supermarkets “Takes Leap Forward”, we said in June 2016 when SeAB Energy announced their first small scale package anaerobic digestion plant It is true that a handful of the UK’s largest and most successful supermarkets generate biogas from food waste to power their operations. They save money on trash disposal […]
ADBA Urges COP26 President to Support Anaerobic Digestion
In a letter to Alok Sharma, President of the United Nations Conference of Parties on Climate Change (COP26), which the UK will host in November, a group of 19 organizations, led by the UK Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA), has urged the minister to become an advocate. An advocate for better waste management in […]
3 Anaerobic Digestion Process Feedstock Materials Including Chocolate
Anaerobic digestion is turning not only cow – well you know – dung, into environmentally-friendly energy to heat and power your home, but also tannery (leather making) wastes, and even rejected chocolate.
Green Gas Levy: Biomethane Plants Tariff Scheme Will Fund UK Biogas Plants
The UK Green Gas Levy is going ahead, which means that this new Tariff Scheme will help fund new UK biogas plants. The UK government has confirmed that a charge on gas suppliers will be implemented to fund grid-connected anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities across the UK. Plans to use a new carbon tax on UK […]
Scottish Anaerobic Digestion Industry’s Astonishing Year of Growth 2015
Scotland’s anaerobic digestion (AD) industry has grown by nearly 70%t in the last year, according to 2015 figures.
Hydrolysis of Sewage Sludge and Anaerobic Digestion Wins
The hydrolysis of sewage sludge and the subsequent anaerobic digestion of the hydrolysed sludge output is becoming increasingly common at many sewage works. We think we are justified to call it a winning combination, and we even back up this assertion by providing information on a new contract win for the technology by Veolia, in […]
What is Biomethane and Anaerobic Digestion Gas to Grid Definition
It is a good question to ask; “What is biomethane and anaerobic digestion gas to grid”, but for the first part (biomethane) don’t expect always to get the same answer! Many people use the term biomethane interchangeably as if it means the same as biogas. In fact, when the term “biomethane” is used correctly the […]
Anaerobic Digestion Plants
In this section of the website we explain Anaerobic Digestion Plants by country and the progress in recent years which has been made in the implementation of AD technology in each. For convenience we have split each country into a page, as listed and linked below: Anaerobic Digestion Plants UK Anaerobic Digestion Plants Scotland Anaerobic […]
Anaerobic Digestate Disposal, or Use as a Natural Fertilizer?
The question as to whether to go for Digestate Disposal, or use it as a Natural Fertilizer is important, and not a simple one to determine. Digestate from any wet anaerobic digestion process comprises both a liquid and a fibrous solid material. As we plan Anaerobic Digestion Plants the question arises for each site as […]
UK Biogas Funding for Biofuels CHP RO FiTs and RHI – Looking Back 10 Years
To understand the historical background to policy on UK Biogas Funding for Biofuels and CHP (Combined Heat and Power Installations), RO (the now-defunct Renewables Obligation), FiTs (Feed-in-Tariff closed) and the RHI (Renewable Heat Incentive – still current but for how long?*) it is necessary to go back 10 years to 2011 and the “Anaerobic Digestion […]
