Using Anaerobic Biomass Digestion to Produce Hydrogen and Biofuel
For many years, hydrogen has been considered as an alternative to fossil fuels. Now, Scientists are aiming to develop an environmentally friendly method to produce hydrogen from biomass by optimizing anaerobic digestion systems.1 Climate change, dwindling fuel resources and energy prices have spearheaded intensive efforts to detect and optimize alternative fuel options. As a zero emission fuel, ...

The first Molinari mill for biomasses has now been installed
The first Molinari mill designed to pre-treat biomasses for anaerobic digestion came into operation on January 31st 2013. Construction of this machine began a year ago following a request from Mr. Zangrandi, the owner of a 1 MW biogas plant. His first need was to reduce the size of the various products used to feed the plant. Thus increase the surface that could be attacked by bacteria. Once the ...

Next government will be “crucial” for delivering on renewables targets
The next Government will be “crucial” for determining whether or not the UK achieves its 15% renewable energy target by 2020, according to the Renewable Energy Association (REA). Currently the UK produces only 2.3% of its total energy from renewable sources such as biomass and anaerobic digestion, and has been one of the poorest performers on delivering renewable to date. But the Renewable ...

Study Finds Algae Growth, Harvesting Are Root of Energy ROI
A study recently published by researchers at the University of Texas, Austin asserts that the crux of algae's case as an economically feasible oil feedstock and energy source rests not in its processing but in the ability to affordably grow and harvest it. The study, titled "Energy Return on Energy Investment for Algal Biocrude: Results for a Research Production Facility," was funded by algae ...
