Can A New Technology Increase Biogas Production By 40%?
A new technological innovation has emerged in Japan that could increase biogas production by up to 40 per cent. If this proves correct, the innovation could transform the industry and lead to soaring demand for equipment such as pressure relief valves. The new waste sorting system, called AdBio, has been developed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries […]
Where Will Biofuels Be Used Most When Fossil Fuels Run Out?
Whilst the strategies will significantly vary by country, the reality has set in with most nations that the era of taking for granted fossil fuels is well and truly over. The replacements, however, are exceptionally varied and require both different approaches and a wide range of equipment. Different alternative fuels have different storage and pressure […]
Will Mandatory Food Waste Collection Increase AD Energy?
As of the start of April 2026, all local authorities in England have been legally required to provide food waste collections to every household Prior to this date, not every area in the country provided food waste collection, which meant that a great deal of waste that could be converted into energy was simply ending […]
Could Global Conflicts Boost Demand For Biofuels In The UK?
Since the US and Israel started the war with Iran at the end of February, the price of oil has been volatile to say the least. Due to the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping route for not only fuel but also other commodities, being closed, global oil prices skyrocketed and even though they have […]
Could The UAE’s Departure From OPEC Boost Biofuels?
The importance of biofuels has mainly been discussed in terms of their potential to reduce carbon emissions and thus combat climate change, but in a world of uncertain oil supplies, their potential as a means of overcoming supply shocks is increasingly significant. Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine was one such shock, causing a surge in […]
Why Are More Countries Scaling Up Their Biofuel Initiatives?
Just as it appeared that some countries were slowing down or easing up their biofuel ambitions and the pressure relief infrastructure required, circumstances have dictated a rather sudden and abrupt change of course that has once again put biofuels firmly in the spotlight. The sudden surge of crude oil prices since late February 2026 and […]
How Do Flame Arresters Make Petrochemical Industries Safer?
Any industry that uses flammable liquids in bulk storage tanks will be familiar with the many safety measures required for storing, processing, and transporting them. Leaks, fires and explosions caused by hazardous liquids and gases can be harmful to employees, contractors and even the public. One of the many safety devices found in bulk liquid […]
Does Safety Design Reduce Risks In Petrochemical Industries?
With any chemical processing, there are risks involved because of the dangerous substances being handled. The results of major accidents, fires and chemical spillages are often seen in the news from across the world. The need to reduce these accidents resulted in the Control of Major Accident Hazards (COMAH) Regulations being introduced in 2015. The […]
What Is Biofuel Fraud & How Could It Affect Sustainability?
Biofuel is a key resource for a sustainable, decarbonised world, particularly as it allows for industrial sectors that cannot rely on battery power to use a less polluting alternative. They have become particularly important in recent weeks as the price of crude oil nearly doubled in less than a month amidst conflicts in the Middle […]
Could Biofuel Blends Help Lower Costs During Oil Crises?
In early March 2026, a series of major events caused the price of oil and petroleum products to spike exponentially, which has had almost incalculable consequences on the global economy, but one side effect is a surging demand for biofuel alternatives to petrol and diesel and the infrastructure needed to make this happen. The complete […]
