At its core, biochar is just charcoal but not just any charcoal. Biochar is made specifically from biomass – wood, plant trimmings, leaves, or crop residues – created using a special low-oxygen combustion method called pyrolysis. Let us breakdown what that means: Biomass: Recently living organic material (wood, crop residues,… Continue reading
Biomethane is a popular renewable fuel which is finding rapid acceptance across the world. Biomethane, the upgraded form of biogas, is obtained by removing carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulphide and water vapours from raw biogas. Biomethane is less corrosive than biogas, due to the absence of CO2 and sulphur, which makes… Continue reading
The hotel industry is one of the business niches that generate the most waste around the world. It certainly makes sense from an operational point of view since guests tend to spend resources and hotels need to keep their spaces as clean as they can 24 hours a day, all… Continue reading
From on-site usage to transportation, the journey of biogas—from a simple byproduct to a versatile fuel—is compelling. Buckle up as we explore the ins and outs of storing and transporting biogas and biomethane! How is Biogas and Biomethane Produced Biogas is generated through a process called anaerobic digestion, where microorganisms… Continue reading
Autoclaving is a popular medical waste treatment method in many countries. It is done in closed chambers where both heat and pressure are applied over a period of time to destroy all microorganisms that may be present in healthcare waste before landfill disposal. Among alternative systems, autoclaving (also known as… Continue reading
Biofuels offer a solution to climate change that shouldn’t go ignored. In fact, the amount of biofuel used in low-carbon transport has led to increase by a factor of seven in order to prevent climate catastrophe, a recent report on 1.5C warming by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)… Continue reading
Biomass pellets are a type of biomass fuel, generally made from wastes from wood processing plants, agricultural wastes, forestry residues, bamboo etc. Pellets are manufactured in several types and grades as fuels for power plants, homes, and other applications. Biomass pellets are extremely dense and can be produced with a… Continue reading
As more and more governments and businesses are racing to find efficient and reliable solutions for providing energy, the one option that is both widely achievable on a house-by-house basis, as well as tackling two major environmental issues is turning household waste into clean fuel. We know there are already… Continue reading
Biodiesel is a renewable and sustainable form of energy. It can reduce greenhouse emissions by almost 30%, which means that although they do release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, they do so in a very limited manner. With the aim of building a green new world, and eliminating the need… Continue reading
E-waste has turned out to be one of the biggest concerns of modern society. Although it’s a fact that e-waste comprises only 2 to 3 % of the global waste, it consists of about 70% of the world’s overall toxic waste. Regardless of the debate on whether e-waste is a… Continue reading
