How much energy is in biogas?

Each cubic meter (m³) of biogas contains the equivalent of 6 kWh of calorific energy.

However, when we convert biogas to electricity, in a biogas powered electric generator, we get about 2 kWh of useable electricity, the rest turns into heat which can also be used for heating applications.

2 kWh is enough energy to power a 100 W light bulb for 20 hours or a 2000W hair dryer for 1 hour.

Une nouvelle membrane permettant de produire du biométhane bientôt commercialisée

MemfoACT, Membranes for Advanced Clean Technologies, société spin-off de l'université norvégienne des sciences et technologies (NTNU) créée en 2008, développe une membrane permettant de produire du biométhane à partir de biogaz.

Le biogaz contient majoritairement du méthane (entre 50-70%), ainsi que du dioxyde de carbone et quelques autres composés (vapeur d'eau, sulfure d'hydrogène...). Le défi relevé par ces membranes est de séparer le biométhane des autres gaz en combinant une haute sélectivité, nécessaire pour son utilisation ultérieure, et un haut rendement.

Le biogaz est produit par la fermentation de matières organiques, en l'absence d'oxygène, dans des cuves (fermenteurs) chauffées afin d'améliorer le rendement. Les sources de biogaz sont multiples : décharges, boues des stations d'épuration, effluents d'élevage, marais ... La récupération de ce biogaz et notamment du méthane présente des intérêts énergétiques et environnementaux certains : le méthane est un gaz à effet de serre bien plus puissant que le dioxyde de carbone (environ 23 fois plus). On estime que rien qu'en Norvège l'ensemble des biodéchets représentent une réserve énergétique de l'ordre de 6 TWh/an et 400 TWh/an à l'échelle de l'Europe. L'un des avantages de l'utilisation de biométhane comme biocarburant est en outre que sa production n'entraine pas l'utilisation de terres arables.

La Californie renforce la chasse aux émissions de gaz à effet de serre

LOS ANGELES — La Californie, en approuvant récemment l'instauration d'un marché des émissions de gaz à effet de serre, a confirmé sa réputation d'Etat le plus "vert" des Etats-Unis, alors que les tentatives de Washington pour imposer des mesures musclées au niveau national s'enlisent.

L'Etat le plus riche et le plus peuplé des Etats-Unis va instaurer en 2012 un marché des droits d'émissions de CO2, sur le modèle du dispositif existant depuis plusieurs années dans l'Union européenne.

Le système consiste à attribuer aux industries des quotas d'émissions de CO2, tout en leur permettant d'acheter sur un marché financier des droits d'émission à celles qui polluent moins.

Le gouverneur républicain de Californie Arnold Schwarzenegger -- qui quittera son poste à la fin de l'année --, en opposition avec la plupart des membres de son parti sur les questions environnementales, a salué l'adoption de la mesure par les autorités de l'Etat.

"J'ai fait campagne sur ce sujet en 2003", a-t-il rappelé. "Je veux montrer à la Californie qu'on peut protéger à la fois l'économie et l'environnement", a-t-il déclaré devant le Bureau californien de la qualité de l'air, qui a adopté la mesure le 16 décembre dernier par 9 voix contre 1.

Hydro-Québec retient 12 projets éoliens totalisant 1G$

Hydro-Québec Distribution a annoncé lundi avoir retenu 12 soumissions pour un total de 291,4 mégawatts à la suite de l'appel d'offres lancé le 30 avril 2009 et visant l'achat de deux blocs distincts de 250 MW d'électricité produite au Québec au moyen d'éoliennes.

L'un de ces blocs est issu de projets autochtones et l'autre, de projets communautaires, a précisé Hydro-Québec. Les soumissions retenues sont réparties à raison d'une soumission dans le bloc autochtone, pour 24 MW, et de 11 soumissions dans le bloc communautaire, pour 267,4 MW.

Les deux propositions avancées par Boralex (TSX:BLX) ont été acceptées. Innergex Renewable Energy a aussi vu une de ses huit propositions être retenue par Hydro-Québec.

L'ensemble des projets représente des investissements de l'ordre de 730 millions $ pour les parcs éoliens et de 260 millions $ pour le transport de l'électricité.

Le Québec doit exploiter son gaz, dit Bernard Landry

MONTRÉAL - Le Québec ne doit pas se priver d’exploiter son potentiel gazier, selon Bernard Landry. L’ex-premier ministre croit que la province peut tirer profit du gaz de schiste sans commettre de bévues environnementales.

«Le Québec est le seul pays au monde où la découverte de gaz rend triste. Partout ailleurs ça rend joyeux», a-t-il expliqué, citant un journal britannique.

Feasibility Studies for Biogas Projects

The scope of feasibility studies vary greatly depending on client requirements. Studies may be technically oriented, economically focused or both.

Biogas project studies are often a wise investment as they help assess project technical and economical risks and benefits.

 

Here are examples of studies performed by Electrigaz:

Anaerobic Digester and Gas Processing Facility in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia 

Biogas upgrading and grid injection in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia

Une meilleure gestion des déchets peut aider à combattre le changement climatique

Un rapport du Programme des Nations Unies pour l’environnement (PNUE) intitulé « Emissions Gap Report », publié hier et présenté en avant-première lors de l’ouverture du Sommet sur le Climat à Cancun (Mexique), invite les Etats à investir dans le « déchet vert », pour lutter efficacement contre la hausse du thermomètre mondial.

Le PNUE en est convaincu : ce combat doit aussi passer par des transformations radicales en matière de gestion des déchets, responsables de 3 à 5 % des émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre (GES). Aussi le PNUE rappelle, en plus de réclamer une réduction des rejets carbone imputables au traitement des détritus, l’importance de préserver les ressources naturelles, et encourage une nouvelle fois le développement des énergies propres, par ailleurs créatrices d’emplois…

Waste Recycling Group Named Preferred Bidder for Planned Waste to Energy Facility

 Waste Recycling Group (WRG), a UK waste management and energy recovery company has welcomed the decision by Buckinghamshire County Council to award it preferred bidder status for the Council's Waste to Energy (WtE) procurement project.

In October WRG submitted a planning application which it anticipates will be determined by Buckinghamshire County Council early next year.

WRG is proposing to build a 300,000 tonnes per year WtE facility at Lower Greatmoor Farm, adjacent to Calvert landfill site, to treat Buckinghamshire's residual non-hazardous household and commercial waste over the next 30 years.

The company claims that the facility will generate up to 22 MW of electricity for the local grid, and will include a new access road linking the site directly to the A41 via a new roundabout, thus significantly reducing the number of vehicles travelling through the villages of Calvert, Edgcott and Grendon Underwood.

WRG says that the proposed WtE plant at Calvert will use well proven technology provided by AE&E, an international plant engineering and construction company supplying power generation and environmental technologies.

We need vision to avoid wasting our waste

Greater Victoria should consider burning trash to generate energy

On Sunday the Times Colonist dedicated much of the Monitor section to a report how we treat our municipal solid waste. The Hartland landfill has apparently served the region well for some time. But it's now becoming full.
The Capital Regional District is beginning to explore various options on what to do next. It's not alone.
Across the water, Metro Vancouver recently completed an extensive process aimed at answering the same question.

Their status quo involves trucking trash more than 300 kilometres to a landfill at Cache Creek. That's like people in Toronto trucking their waste to Ottawa.

You've got to wonder how much civilization has advanced. As the Times Colonist points out, municipal garbage dumps were first created in Greece more than 2400 years ago. Surely we can do better than this.

Metro Vancouver thinks we can. It has approved a plan that includes either in-region or out-of-region waste-to-energy treatment of regional trash. This would supplement a small existing facility in Burnaby. The proposal awaits provincial approval.

Scottish Government seeks advice on future of water utility

The Scottish Government is seeking advice on the future of the region’s publicly-owned water utility.

Following the withdrawal of a bill that would have transformed Scottish Water into a renewable electricity generator, the Government now wants to consult with communities and the public on how the utility could best exploit its expertise and assets.

The Government still wants to look at a range of possible options for Scottish Water, including converting redundant treatment works into recycling facilities, upgrading sewage treatment plants to harvest biogas, installing hydro schemes in reservoirs and building wind farms on its land.

“Scottish Water… has the potential to play a greater role in the development of a low carbon economy and grow from a successful utility to become a widely based, dynamic, world-leading water organisation,” says Stewart Stevenson, Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Climate Change.
The utility has the assets to generate enough renewable energy to meet its own needs and export to the grid, he says.

“Our consultation will seek views on the best ways of ensuring Scottish Water is able to take on additional functions and develop new commercial opportunities,” he adds.

The genie is out of the methane biogas bottle

A mere month ago, the San Antonio Water System in Texas announced that it had become the first ever U.S. municipal wastewater treatment plant to sell renewable methane biogas through a commercial natural gas pipe line. Well roll me over Beethoven if California isn’t already going to trump Texas in the exciting world of biogas, because not one but two California utilities are applying for permission to produce methane biogas from multiple wastewater treatement plants as well as farms and other operations, too.

What’s the Big Deal About Biogas?

Methane is produced when microorganisms feed on human and animal waste. At conventional wastewater treatment plants, the process takes place in tanks called anaerobic digesters. The goal is to render the solid wastes into an inert, non-smelly material for ease of disposal, and methane is simply been flared off as a byproduct. More recently, treatment plants have begun to reclaim the methane and use it to run equipment on site. In agriculture, the federal AgStar program is encouraging livestock farmers to install digesters for reclaiming methane, as a means of cutting their utility bills, protecting the environment from excess animal waste and producing a marketable fertilizer, too.

Billion-rand biogas saving for the taking

Come February next year if you live on the East Rand you will be able to run your car on biogas derived from waste.

Novo Energy, an energy and technology company, is building a dispensing station for demonstration purposes on a landfill site near OR Tambo International airport.

Novo will offer motorists a free conversion so that their cars can run on biogas. It estimates fuel savings of between 15% and 25%. Using gas to power vehicles is not new but this is understood to be a first for South Africa, although it's on a small scale.

"We are at the early stages of trying to get our vision to the appropriate people at municipal, provincial and even national level," says John Stavers, the Novo's general manager. "Our vision is to have government use the gas from landfills or sewage works rather than waste it."

Biogas is any methane-rich gas and can be produced by several means, such as decomposing organic matter in landfills or municipal waste and manure. Landfill gas is captured by drilling wells into the methane-rich waste, collecting the gas with pipes and processing it.

Projet SSB : Sahara Solar Breeder

L'idée d'une unité de méthanisation avance - Locminé

Pas de pétrole, mais des idées, au pays de Locminé. Le projet d'étude d'une unité biomasse, annoncée le 8 janvier dernier par Grégoire Super, maire de Locminé et vice-président de la communauté de communes, lors de la cérémonie des voeux, a fait son chemin. Si tout n'est pas bouclé on y est presque.

Lundi soir, au conseil communautaire, Grégoire Super a souhaité tout d'abord l'aval de son conseil municipal avant de détailler publiquement et totalement les contours de cette unité. Ceci devrait être fait le 25 novembre. La ville de Locminé, porteuse du projet, et qui dispose notamment d'une station d'assainissement importante (90 000 équivalents/habitants) et d'une unité de traitement des boues et de compostage, serait soutenue dans ce programme par Locminé communauté et d'autres partenaires au sein d'une société d'économie mixe (Sem). Le conseil communautaire pourrait donner sa bénédiction le 9 décembre. 

Cette unité de méthanisation, qui serait jumelée à une autre source d'énergie verte (filière bois), devrait permettre de chauffer les structures collectives en projet (centre aquatique, salle multifonctions), mais aussi des établissements scolaires. Et assurer les besoins conséquents d'eau chaude d'au moins une entreprise locale.

7 millions d'euros d'investissement

« Nous prendrions ainsi de l'avance sur le critère carbone. Des chefs d'entreprises, tant en amont pour les déchets, qu'en aval pour la production d'eau chaude, sont très réceptifs au projet »

Government signals further support for biogas

Defra has outlined how it believes more energy can be generated through anaerobic digestion technology.

The Developing an Anaerobic Digestion framework calls for a shared approach between government and industry, learning lessons from areas where AD technology is already established, such as the sewage industry and continental Europe.

It says farm-scale AD plants have a part to play in this strategy and recognises that some energy crop may be required in combination with slurries and that such crops can be grown as part of the normal agricultural rotation.


But, Defra says it is not going to encourage energy crop-based AD, particularly where these crops are grown to the exclusion of food crops.

“We see that there is scope for the expansion of rural scale AD plants that can utilise energy crops for renewable energy production, but we need to fully understand the impact of crop production systems on our ability to grow food crops.”
