Here’s an overview of the renewable incentives available to anaerobic digestion (AD) and biogas plants in the UK. Feed-in Tariffs (FITs) The Feed-in Tariff FIT is designed to encourage the provision of small-scale low carbon electricity and provides a guaranteed index linked price for a fixed period to small-scale electricity producers. The current tariffs . . . → Read More: Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Incentives in the UK Anaerobic digestion is a series of processes in which micro-organisms break down biodegradable material in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic Digestion can be used to treat organic farm, industrial and domestic waste. The anaerobic digestion process produces biogas, usually around 60% methane, 40% Carbon dioxide. This biogas can be used to generate heat and . . . → Read More: Anaerobic Digestion Agrivert has been appointed preferred bidder for the food waste recycling contract for Central Wales Waste Partnership (CWWP) consisting of Ceredgion and Powys County Councils The contract should be signed in May 2012 and will cover the recycling of 10,000 tonnes per annum of food waste under a 15 year contract. Initially, the food . . . → Read More: Agrivert are preferred bidder for the Central Wales A nice video of Severn Trents crop based biogas plant at Stoke Bardolph. I believe the plant has a capacity of 50,000tpa and is currently processing c36,000tpa, so room for furthe growth. 2 x 1MW CHP’s providing 1.7MW of power exported to the grid. This is nice video talking through the BV Dairy high rate anaerobic digestion plant supplied by UK company Clearfleau. A great closed loop system with the biogas produced being used on site to provide power back to the dairy PDM is said to be ready to invest £40m in developing its network of ReFood anaerobic digestion (AD) plants this year, with plans for two new facilities in Widnes and East London, following hot on the heels of their first plant at their headquarters in Doncaster. The proposals are for each plant to have . . . → Read More: PDM ready to invest £40m in Biogas Bio group and their partner Centrica has started work Stockport to build their second biogas plant, converting food waste into enough bio-methane for 1,400 homes for injection into the gas grid. Didcot Biogas to Grid AD Project The £5m Fairfield Bio Energy plant will use organic material from local hotels, restaurants and offices . . . → Read More: Biogas to Grid plant underway Biogas refers to the gas produced when organic material (such as food waste, crops or animal slurries) decomposes in the absence of oxygen, such as in an anaerobic digester or landfill (commonly called landfill gas). Biogas as a rule of thumb contains 60% methane (CH4) and 40% carbon dioxide (CO2), with some other trace . . . → Read More: What is Biogas? Digestate from an anaerobic digestion plant will be produced in a volume of around 90-95% of what the volume of feedstock fed into the digester. It is a nutrient-rich liquid consisting of the undigested material and is a valuable fertiliser for agriculture. The dry solids content (DS%) of the digestate will be the solids content . . . → Read More: Digestate Following Germany’s decision to phase out nuclear power, this video demonstrates how biogas, solar, wind and hydro power are being combined in an experiment to show how renewables can be used to proved 100% of the country’s demand – even when the wind isn’tblowing or the sun shining! I’m slightly confussed having just read on the NNFCC web site that Malaby Biogas are the first to receive a loan from WRAP’s anaerobic digestion loan fund…. hmmmm. My view was that this new fund established in July 2011 would be used to aid new projects. In fact my last post (which was a . . . → Read More: Why is Malaby Biogas first to benefit from WRAP’s AD Loan Fund? |
