A biogas plant produces two main products – biogas and digestate; both can be further processed or utilized to produce secondary outputs. Biogas can be used for producing electricity and heat, as a natural gas substitute and also a transportation fuel. On the other hand, the digestate from the anaerobic… Continue reading
Biogas technology has turned the tables on conventional waste management, transforming what we discard into valuable renewable energy resources. In this post, we dive into the world of biogas, exploring its processes, benefits, and why it’s a game-changer in both energy production and climate change mitigation. What is Biogas? Biogas… Continue reading
Biomass pyrolysis is a process that not only produces syngas and bio-oil but also yields biochar – a substance that can help improve soil health. Biomass pyrolysis is a thermo-chemical conversion process which involves combustion of organic materials in the absence of oxygen. Let’s explore this innovative approach that’s shaping… Continue reading
BioCNG is a well-known and proven source of clean energy, and is witnessing increasing demand worldwide as it is one of the most cost-effective and eco-friendly replacement for natural gas and diesel. BioCNG is less corrosive than biogas which makes it more flexible in its application than raw biogas. It… Continue reading
Waste management at military facilities demands an integrated framework based on the conventional waste management hierarchy of 4Rs – reduction, reuse, recycling and recovery of energy. Waste reduction (or waste minimization) is the top-most solution to reduce waste generation at military facilities which demands close cooperation among different departments, including… Continue reading
Even the fastest growing economies often fail at effectively managing the massive quantities of waste generated. Whether you’re a homeowner cleaning up after a renovation project, or a construction company with ongoing construction site waste management requirements or a hospital generating biomedical wastes , it’s important that you’re familiar with… Continue reading
Biodiesel, a petroleum-based diesel alternative produced by transesterification, works as efficiently as the commercially sold diesel and hardly requires any changes in the engine. For those who don’t know, biodiesel can be produced using any oil derived from plants such as soybean oil, cottonseed oil, canola oil, etc. or from… Continue reading
Biogas, also known as renewable natural gas, could be part of the solution for providing people in rural areas with reliable, clean and cheap energy. In fact, it could provide various benefits beyond clean fuel as well, including improved sanitation, health and environmental sustainability. What is Biogas? Biogas is the… Continue reading
We deal with waste every day and it is becoming problematic. It is our responsibility to become aware of our own personal impact to the environment. It is also our duty to think about the consequences of generating waste on public health and natural ecosystems. In this article, we will… Continue reading
