AD Plants Supply Biomethane To Green Gas Facility
A number of third-party anaerobic digestion (AD) plants in Ireland have agreed to supply biomethane to a central grid injection (CGI) facility. The building of the country’s first large-scale green gas site, developed by Gas Networks Ireland (GNI), will start in summer 2023. However, the €30 million (£25.5 million) Green Renewable Agricultural Zero Emissions project, […]
BrewDog Announces New Anaerobic Digestor
Scots’ brewer BrewDog has announced it is commissioning a new anaerobic digestor (AD) at its headquarters in an attempt to reduce its carbon emissions. The bio-energy plant is expected to cost £12 million and will work by processing as much as 200 million litres of wastewater it produces a year, as well as spent yeast […]
Biofuels And The Environment
Biofuels are renewable, manmade fuels created from natural, plant-based matter and are often referred to as biomass. They are made from renewable sources of carbon, such as plants or animal waste. Biofuels are a far more sustainable option than fossil fuels, as they are not an exhaustible resource. There is only a limited amount of […]
Global Algae Biofuel Market Tipped For Big Growth
The global market for biofuel drawn from algae has been tipped for major expansion in the next five years. According to Research and Markets.com , the value of this market will increase from $5.02 billion in 2020 to $9.03 billion in 2027 . This will represent a compound annual growth rate of 8.75 per cent […]
Researchers Discover Process To Convert Bamboo Into Biofuel
A research team has discovered a process to convert bamboo into a bio-ethanol fuel that can not only reduce reliance on fossil fuels in tanks with a vacuum relief valve but also does not require the widespread use of land that could be used for farming and agriculture. The discovery, made by a team at […]
INEOS To Rollout Innovative AI Technology At Grangemouth Kinneil Terminal
Petrochemical company INEOS have announced plans to use new artificial intelligence technology (AI) at its Kinneil Terminal in Grangemouth, as part of the efforts to reduce carbon emission levels. Hydrocarbon Engineering reports that INEOS have committed to reducing emissions at the plant by 60% by 2030. The innovative software is designed to monitor energy use […]
Thames Water Created 140m Cubic Metres Of Biogas In 2021!
Energy supplier Thames Water succeeded in creating an impressive 140 million cubic metres of green biogas at its sewage treatment works last year – which is enough to cook 112 million Christmas turkeys! This milestone comes as part of the company’s plans to reach net zero by 2030 , with Thames Water committing in June […]
How Does A Pressure Relief Valve Keep People Safe?
An emergency vacuum relief valve is a vital safety tool fitted to the nozzle opening of a storage tank carrying volatile materials that help to protect it from rupturing and imploding. As storing flammable liquids and gases can be exceptionally dangerous, the Health and Safety Executive recommend using safety valves as best practice to avoid […]
UK Transport Biofuels Share Drops
New data from the Department for Transport ( DfT ) has indicated that biofuels make up a smaller proportion of the country’s transport fuel mix than a year ago. The current figure is five per cent, down from 5.9 per cent in the previous 12 months. It means that 1.44 billion litres of renewable fuels […]
Can Using Biowaste Save The Climate?
COP26 has recently drawn to a close, but one of the final events in the last week of the climate crisis conference was held by the World Biogas Association (WBA) and explored how anaerobic digestion (AD) can be used to help reduce methane emissions and fulfil the Global Methane Pledge (GMP), a collective commitment to […]
