The idea of biogas is anything but new. People have been experimenting with making biogas for many generations. Biogas is made by converting organic waste into energy. It’s a huge win for the environment because it utilizes what is otherwise considered waste, but it’s a big win for pocketbooks too…. Continue reading
Agricultural waste is the most prolific feedstock for anaerobic digestion plants worldwide. A wide range of crop wastes can be used for biogas production, including straw, husk, bagasse, corn cob, wood wastes etc. The key factors driving the anaerobic digestion of agricultural wastes are physico-chemical properties, pretreatment process, C:N ratio,… Continue reading
Food waste disposal is a big problem in all countries, especially affluent ones. There are numerous places which generate large amounts of food waste including hotels, restaurants, malls, residential societies, canteens, airline caterers, markets etc. A proper food waste management strategy needs to be devised for them to make sure… Continue reading

Let’s explore the different aspects of Indore’s pioneering Bio-CNG project which is setting up an example of sustainable solid waste management worldwide. Bio-CNG: Compressed… 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
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
The planet is already suffering because of questionable environmental practices. It is becoming increasingly necessary to find sustainable solutions to save the earth. Biomethane is counted among the best renewable energy sources because it is both renewable and eco-friendly. While it is not completely free of greenhouse gases, it does not… 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
We know fossil fuels are a finite resource and that burning them is terrible for the environment, but modern technology doesn’t offer much in the way of alternatives. Biogas is often touted as an eco-friendly alternative to fossil fuels, but it isn’t always as green as it seems to be…. Continue reading
Most, if not all of Europe has a suitable climate for biogas production. The specific type of system depends on the regional climate. Regions with harsher winters may rely more on animal waste and other readily available materials compared to warmer climates, which may have access to more crop waste or organic… Continue reading
