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

May 31, 2018 -

The decision is the culmination of a two-year struggle between the similarly-named but unrelated Duke Energy and an alliance of students and environmentalists. The energy utility hoped to own and run the new plant, which would start off burning fossil fuels before switching to biogas.

The biogas industry in eastern North Carolina could benefit from the university's switch to renewable natural gas. A swine biogas facility may also reduce air pollution ...

Scientists develop new technology that extracts valuable chemicals from biological waste

September 23, 2019 - biogas, a valuable fuel that isn't reliant on traditional and dwindling supplies of fossil fuels.

Researchers from the University of Boras want to take that methane production process a step further. They want to expand the range of products of the existing anaerobic digestion process.

Irish researchers detail a potential solution for tackling plastic waste

December 03, 2018 - 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."

O'Connor's fellow researcher, Trinity ...

Researchers develop blend of bioplastics that can decompose under diverse conditions

November 13, 2018 -

These bioplastics are just as malleable, resilient, and robust as their petroleum-derived equivalents. At the same time, they can be easily broken down by common microorganisms that feast upon the usual contents of the compost pile, trash heap, or garbage bin.

In the future, the decomposed plastic can be harvested to produced biogas. The availability of a renewable and sustainable source of biofuel could provide power to your home, thereby reducing your electricity ...

Scientists set to make new form of recycled paper from POO

May 25, 2018 - biogas plus paper

Dr. Bismark reported that the manure-derived nanopaper could be used for a variety of purposes. It could serve as a material to write on, or it could strengthen polymer composites and filters that are used to treat wastewater.

The research team is cooperating with an industrial consortium to find out novel uses for recycled nanopaper. They're also refining the paper-making process to increase its sustainability.

Right now they are testing the ...

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

May 14, 2018 - biogas production from both aerobic and anaerobic facilities, and also from a control facility that used only plant waste from a farm.

The team found some amount of microplastics in all of the samples they tested except those from the control facility. Compost samples taken from supermarket waste contained the greatest amount of plastic particles, with 895 pieces larger than one millimeter found per kg of dry weight. On the other hand, household compost contained ...

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

July 31, 2006 - biogas and other cleaner fuels represent the healthiest alternative. Switching from a traditional stove to an improved stove substantially reduces indoor smoke."Making cleaner fuels and improved stoves available to millions of poor people in developing countries will reduce child mortality and improve women's health," said Dr LEE Jong-wook, WHO Director-General. "In addition to the health gains, household energy programmes can help lift families out of poverty and accelerate ...

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

June 24, 2021 - 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. Bruneck's primary school and fire station are completely self-sufficient from their rooftop solar panels. The town has a policy that requires that all the buildings have to meet up to 25 percent of their own energy needs with renewable sources, including 50 percent of their hot water needs.

Those ...

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

April 21, 2023 - 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.

"That's what the EU says, and that's what I do," Kazanas told the media about the "earth-friendly" measures he is already deploying at his ranch. "Today, everyone blames cattle for methane ...

Ambitious study looks at converting food waste back into food

July 05, 2019 - biogas fuel. Whereas the earlier approaches used food waste as an energy source, their approach would turn the waste into materials.

"The difference is that we can develop new materials and not only solely use the waste products as an energy source," Taherazadeh added. "Many materials will be scarce in the future and our process can play an important role."

If they succeed in getting enough interest and support, the researchers desire to set up a fungi center ...

Repurposing agricultural waste into a renewable resource: Researchers have combined biomass and electric energy to make a more sustainable fuel

February 19, 2019 -

According to their research that was published in the journal Energy & Environmental Science, technologies that pave the way towards the conservation of scarce fossil resources can lead us to resource security. The two main factors to consider when establishing a sustainable future industry are electric energy sources (renewable ones, such as wind and solar) and carbon feedstock (such as waste streams).

Biomass fuels are non-fossil, carbon-based (biogenic) energy sources ...

Looking at ways to decrease agricultural greenhouse gas emissions by producing eco-friendly animal feed

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

December 29, 2017 - biogas facility located in the county of Nord-Trøndelag.

“The wastewater we used for the initial experiments was strongly discolored, and this caused problems for microalgae production. We are now testing water produced by a different stage of the process at Skogn, which contains less of the discoloring substances. We hope that this will make production much easier,” stated Matilde Skogen Chauton, senior research scientist at SINTEF Ocean.

While microalgae ...
