You may have noticed the headline for our Research and Innovation Forum this year is "Putting AD on the Pathway to Zero Subsidy". Of course government has been asking us as an industry for many years when we will match…
Newly published industrial research demonstrates further benefits of using UASB technology
The Anaerobic Digestion & Bioresources Association (ADBA), the UK’s trade body for AD, has today labelled the proposals in the Environment Agency’s (EA’s) consultation on its Strategic Review of Charges as ‘unjustified’.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has a Tash set up to support the global development of AD. It has published a range of peer-reviewed technical brochures to support industry. In addition the UK representative on the task often passes us…
Granville Ecopark, an award-winning enhanced anaerobic digestion (AD) facility based in Northern Ireland, has become the first AD plant in the UK to achieve certification under the recently launched AD Certification Scheme (ADCS), an industry-led initiative that recognises good operational, environmental, and health and safety performance at AD plants.
Last month, the Anaerobic Digestion & Bioresources Association (ADBA) launched its pioneering AD Certification Scheme (ADCS) – a forward-thinking initiative that aims to drive operational best practice across the co- and tri-generation industries. Duncan McPherson, finance director at CooperOstlund, believes…
A new peer review journal paper from MaREI Bioenergy has been published entitled: 'Inhibition of thermochemical treatment on biological hydrogen and methane co-production from algae-derived glucose/glycine'. https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1WMVkin8VOZ4n The paper assessed the total energy conversion efficiency (ECE) of 71.1% through fermentation…
The AD Network is holding two upcoming events that may be of interest to ADBA members. Both are free of charge to members of the AD Network, free membership for which is available at www.anaerobicdigestionnet.com. “Integration of Chemical, Biochemical and Thermal…
The redirection of food waste streams from landfill to recovery of energy in Combined Heat and Power plant (CHP) is beneficial in that there is less ground pollution from leachate in landfills and at the same time, non-fossil fuel energy…
A few weeks ago I attended a workshop on the water-energy-food nexus in 2050, organised by the Stepping Up project. The workshop examined what the UK might look like by the middle of the 21st century, with a focus on…
