EU farmers push back against green agenda: "Why does Brussels hate us?"

Right now, Kazanas captures “biogas” from the cow dung his animals produce. He also uses homegrown manure rather than chemical fertilizer – and yet still the EU wants to shut him down by reclassifying his farm as an industrial operation so it can meet its 55 percent emissions reductions targets by the year 2030.

Duke suspends its plans for a new gas power plant and will focus on generating energy from pig waste

They want Duke to tread lightly around the matter of biogas derived from hog operations. ... In addition, biogas will not do anything for the water pollution from the waste pits. "...

What to do with human waste in space? Convert it into rocket fuel!

The dynamic of converting agricultural and human waste into energy has been popping up in different locations here in the USA, in the UK, and in parts of Europe. ... But contained biomass converters known as anaerobic digesters were created to produce methane, thus improving biogas production considerably. "...

Coastal town in Western Australia reaches 100% renewable energy milestone in demo

For heating, it has rooftop solar thermal systems that provide water heating, a biomass plant and a biogas plant which is near a landfill site. The town’s electricity comes from rooftop solar panels, small hydroelectric plants and a biogas plant that is fed by wood waste. "...

Scientists develop new technology that extracts valuable chemicals from biological waste

The refining process turns the methane into biogas, a valuable fuel that isn’t reliant on traditional and dwindling supplies of fossil fuels. ... He acknowledges the value of methane-derived biogas as a renewable resource but thinks they may go further. "...

New car runs on human waste

"In order to reap power from poop, farms install an anaerobic digester which, over a period of twenty days or so, breaks down some of the collected poop's solids into acids, which feed bacteria, which in turn digest the manure and produce biogas," writes Alex Steffen in his book Worldchanging. ... If you were to drive the car you wouldn't know it was powered by biogas as it performs just like any conventional car. " The key to creating a high-performance methane engine is a practice ...

World's first poop-fueled bus begins operation in UK

The biogas is generated through anaerobic digestion in the power plant sewage treatment complex. That's where oxygen starved bacteria breaks down biodegradable material to produce methane-rich biogas. "...

The need to carefully cull compost: Research suggests microplastics may be entering freshwater and soil from contaminated compost

Microplastics found in almost every sample In the study, the researchers tested samples including household compost and grass clippings, supermarket waste, and grain silage leftover from biogas production from both aerobic and anaerobic facilities, and also from a control facility that used only plant waste from a farm. ... Almost no particles were found in samples of silage from biogas production. The team found that much of the collected biowaste contained plastic . "...

New 'bio-gas' car unveiled

"If you were to drive the car you wouldn't know it was powered by biogas as it performs just like any conventional car. ... "This is a very exciting and forward-thinking project demonstrating the myriad of benefits of anaerobic digestion," explained Lord Rupert Redesdale, chairman of The Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Association. "...

Investment in cleaner household energy yields major health and economic benefits (press release)

Liquefied petroleum gas, biogas and other cleaner fuels represent the healthiest alternative. ... On average, 100 million more homes using liquefied petroleum gas, biogas or modern fuels for cooking would lead to 473 million fewer women, children and men exposed to harmful indoor air pollution, and 282 thousand fewer deaths from respiratory diseases per year. "...

Irish researchers detail a potential solution for tackling plastic waste

The bacteria would then produce biogas, a renewable and cleaner fuel. “Imagine putting your waste plastic packaging into a household composting bin that breaks down the plastic and produces compost for your garden,” he explained. “Or if waste collection companies were able to mix what’s in your brown bin with plastic spoiled by unavoidable food waste and produce biogas to run their fleet or power your home, that’s the future this study suggests.” "...

Scientists set to make new form of recycled paper from POO

Manure might be able to make biogas plus paper Dr. Bismark reported that the manure-derived nanopaper could be used for a variety of purposes. ... Right now they are testing the residue of biogas produced from animal manure. If the leftover material retains enough cellulose, they could recycle it into paper. "...

German village generates 321 percent more renewable energy than it needs, earns millions selling it back to national power grid

By utilizing a unique combination of solar panels, "biogas" generators, natural wastewater treatment plants, and wind turbines, Wildpoldsried has effectively eliminated its need to be attached to a centralized power grid, and created a thriving renewable energy sector in the town that is self-sustaining and abundantly beneficial for the local economy, the environment, and the public.

Ambitious study looks at converting food waste back into food

He and his colleagues plan to make Ways2Taste different from other resource recovery projects such as composting organic waste, incinerating the material, or producing biogas fuel. "...

Maintaining survival sanitation when you bug IN

It may not smell very good, but it can certainly help your crops grow at an impressive rate - Briquettes for fuel – Human feces can also be converted into briquettes for fuel, which would obviously be an invaluable resource in a survival situation - Biogas, SynGas and hydrogen gas – While this technology is not affordable for the public yet, machines that operate on solar power actually break down human feces into usable gas energy Read more tips on preparedness and survival at Preparedness....

Microalgae and seaweed farming: The answer to sustainable food and waste management for fish farms?

As part of their efforts to cultivate algae and plankton viable in the biomarine industry, SINTEF has partnered with a biogas facility located in the county of Nord-Trøndelag. "...
