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! Understanding Biogas and Biomethane Production Biogas is generated through a process called anaerobic digestion, where microorganisms break… Continue reading
Imagine a world fueled by renewable energy, where the air is cleaner, and the planet is healthier. Bioenergy is a key player in this vision, but how does it all come together? This exploration of biomass supply chains will unveil the critical steps that make biomass-based fuels a viable alternative,… 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
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
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
