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
The growing quantum of medical wastes (also known as biomedical waste or healthcare waste) is posing significant public health and environmental challenges across the world. The situation is alarming in developing countries due to improper disposal methods, insufficient physical resources, and lack of research on medical waste management. The major… Continue reading
Sustainable organic waste disposal is one of the many considerations you have to make when planning an eco-friendly lifestyle. Luckily, it’s much easier nowadays to get rid of organic waste without damaging the environment.

Anaerobic digestion of poultry litter is a sustainable way to manage poultry industry waste. Poultry litter is one of the best raw materials for the production of biogas. Infact, the biogas potential of poultry manure is better than that of cow manure and sewage sludge. In this article, we will… Continue reading
Biomass gasification is the combustion of biomass wastes in limited air leading to the formation of a combustible gas, known as synthesis gas or syngas, consisting of carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, methane, water, nitrogen, besides contaminants like char particles, ash and tars. Biomass gasification is an efficient way to… Continue reading
Recycling is an environmental industry buzzword. Cooking oil is one of the most used products around the world. However, it also is one of the most common environmental pollutants. The environmental effects of used cooking oil have been widely documented. In this article, we will discuss the top benefits of… Continue reading
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
