The news that Canada saw a 50% increase in operational biogas capacity over the last decade is great news for both the economy and the environment, as is the strong outlook for future development contained in the latest report from the Canadian Biogas Association (CBA). The news was contained in the Canadian 2020 Biogas Market…

HRS Heat Exchangers welcomes a recent Statistical Report by the European Biogas Association (EBA) which shows that by 2050, as much as 40% of Europe’s total gas consumption could come from sustainable biomethane. We also welcome the focus that the report gives to the importance of creating sustainable uses and markets for digestate, without which…

Maintaining an optimal digester temperature is a key aspect of maximizing biogas production and overall process efficiency in anaerobic digestion. Not only is temperature essential to maintain a healthy colony of bacteria, but it can reduce retention times and improve material circulation – thereby helping to increase the production capacity of the whole process. In…

The conversion of sustainable biomass such as food waste, crop and processing residues, manures and sewage sludges, into biogas and advanced liquid biofuels has significant potential to contribute to the world’s renewable energy and carbon reduction goals. However, many of the most sustainable feedstocks contain high levels of woody materials known as lignin and cellulose,…

The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) recently published its sixth assessment report on climate change which painted an alarming picture of the global effects of climate change and the need for immediate action to reduce the impact of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the environment. In particular the IPCC report identified that urgently tackling…
