A sort of European biogas arms race begins, as Britain continues to turn more attention to developing biogas power plants. Educating the public continues to be a huge factor, however, in approving new biogas technology in suburban and rural areas. The county of Norfolk recently resubmitted plans for an anaerobic … Continue reading
This stove is a partial oxidation gas generator stove. It produces Hydrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Methane and other cracked organic compounds. The same principle is in our books on gasification of wood for engines and cars. Yes, you CAN run a car off this type of system and over 1 million vehicles did this during WWII... it can … Continue reading
Biogas digesters hold a high level of importance for all our futures as the only way to turn the tide on global emissions from a huge range of waste organic materials. Society is blinded by the opportunities of solar energy, wave and wind power, but so far has failed to see that unless the rising quantities of argnic waste … Continue reading
Biogas typically refers to a gas produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Comprised primarily of methane and carbon dioxide, biogas originates from biogenic material and is a type of biofuel. It's a product of the anaerobic digestion or fermentation of biodegradable materials such as … Continue reading
You must be familiar with renewable energy, and might be aware of alternative sources of energy. Newspapers, radios, magazines and most public media rave about the importance of using renewable energy. Rarely will you find information about how you can use renewable energy in your home and reduce your power consumption. We … Continue reading
The buzz word "green" has become increasingly popular in the last few years, and people all over the world are beginning to realize the importance of replacing the dependence on coal and oil with the independence of renewable energies. While some folks are still skeptical about global warming, science and obvious changes in … Continue reading
It seems like everywhere you look there are more and more fossil fuel alternatives being investigated. From ethanol to air, literally everything has been considered. Biogas is another one of these possibilities. It might be a term that is not familiar to some but it is not all that new of a resource because it is completely … Continue reading
Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes in which microorganisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. It is widely used to treat wastewater sludges and organic waste because it provides volume and mass reduction of the input material. As part of an integrated waste management system, anaerobic … Continue reading
Biogas production is achieved as the result of the controlled microbial breakdown of organic materials such as animal manures or food scraps in an anaerobic digester. An anaerobic digester is the name of the plant that makes the gas and is operated at a controlled temperature, pH and loading rate to encourage the growth of … Continue reading
Biogas is a type of fuel that is produced biologically through the breakdown of organic and naturally occurring matter in the absence of oxygen. The gas originates from biological matter. There are many types of biogas. One type is produced by fermentation of ecological materials like sewage, green waste, municipal waste, … Continue reading
