Here’s something you don’t hear at your average dinner table: bamboo might be the power plant of the future. Let’s drop the assumptions and look at how bamboo, the not-so-humble grass, is being reconsidered—not as panda lunch, but as a potential game-changer in the biomass energy industry. Bioenergy is energy… Continue reading
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
Cities have been growing around the globe in the past few years. A United Nations report has estimated that about 68% of the world’s total population will be living in urban centers by the year 2050. This will see an increase of about 70% in solid waste, according to the… 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
The world is changing. We’ve come a long way from the days when the only option for fuel was the fossil-fueled version. Biofuel is one of the most attractive renewable energy sources that is making significant contribution to the global energy mix. As time progresses, we’ll see biofuels contributing more… Continue reading
With alarming statistics about impending waste increase, it is crucial we rethink our approach to waste management, especially through the lens of the circular economy. In this article, we will explore the transformative potential of waste-to-energy technologies in detail. Shaping the Future of Waste Management Understanding the Current Global Waste… 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
