The Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Association (ADBA) launches free service for farmers


The Anaerobic Digestion and Biogas Association (ADBA) is today launching a free consultancy service for farmers and landowners to advise on the viability of Anaerobic Digestion (AD).

ADBA chairman Lord Redesdale will officially launch the service todayThe launch takes place later today at Energy Now Expo in Malvern, where ADBA chairman Lord Redesdale will make the official announcement on the association's exhibition stand (Stand 3).

ADBA chief executive Charlotte Morton explained: "Farming is crucial to supporting the British economy and providing the food we need. Today's farmers are facing a tough economic climate made even more challenging by soaring energy, fertiliser and transport costs. AD not only helps farmers to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions by reducing dependence on commercial fertilisers and traditional transport fuels and energy consumption, but also helps keep farmers farming.

"ADBA has launched this free service to give farmers, growers and land managers a better understanding of what is involved, giving them the confident to invest the time and money needed to develop a project proposal for funding."

Waste to Energy Facility Approved in Plymouth

MVV Waste to Energy Facility Approved in PlymouthPlymouth County Council has formally approved that the proposals by German waste to energy company, MVV Environment to build a 245,000 tonne energy from waste incineration facility at North Yard, Devonport.

According to the council, the approval granted includes 59 conditions and several schedules of legal clauses that the developers are expected to meet both during the facility's construction and while it is in operation - if the Environment Agency grants an operational licence.

The council said that the planning requirements are designed to help offset the impact of the development on the immediate environment.

The company claimed that the combined heat and power (CHP) facility will produce up to 22.5 MW of electricity depending on steam demand from the nearby naval base, which will be the recipient of up to 23.3 MW of heat in the form of steam.

According to MVV, the facility will have a maximum efficiency of 49%, but operate at an averge of 39%, while a typical waste to energy facility operating without CHP would run at only around 23% net efficiency. Most of the electricity generated will be exported to the grid,

New Facility Ferments Food Waste to Produce Biogas

At present, a large number of drivers have switched over to natural gas as an alternative to diesel or gasoline, as the exhaust emissions produced by natural gas contains less CO2 and free from dirt. However, the major issue is reserves are limited as natural gas is also a fossil fuel. Currently, Fraunhofer researchers have found an alternative solution to get the natural gas from food waste such as overripe cherries, brown bananas and mushy tomatoes that are produced by canteens, university cafeterias and wholesale markets. The food waste thus produced will be fermented to produce methane, which can later be compressed into high-pressure cylinders for use as fuel.
