Biofuels 2010: Spotting the Next Wave
The Prometheus Institute has turned from solar energy to biofuels in a new study by Joshua Kagan and Travis Bradford that gives an economic analysis of all current and proposed generations of biofuels. The report charts a clear path forward for future...

CHP Save Energy in Brewing
A cool, freshly drawn beer – for many a person this is the greatest of pleasures. But, in fact, a bad conscience should haunt us when we drink beer as it is among the most energy-intensive foodstuffs during production.

DDGS for Growing-Finishing Gilts with Previous Exposure to DDGS in the Nursery
The inclusion of high concentrations of corn dried distillers grains with solubles (DDGS; 30 per cent) in both the nursery and growing-finishing periods may result in negative effects on growth performance and carcass characteristics, write Thomas E....

Regulating Energy from Waste
Anaerobic digestion is expected to have an increasing role in producing biogas from waste material, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor Chris Harris.

Importance of Anaerobic Digestion Systems to UK Agriculture
Anaerobic digestion is more than just diverting waste from landfill, it also offers an opportunity for rural economic diversification, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor Chris Harris.

Profits from On-Farm and Commercial Anaerobic Digestion
Anaerobic digestion is a natural biological process in which the use of the biofertiliser that is produced is as important as the biogas, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor Chris Harris.

Investing in Biogas Projects
Financing new biogas projects can be a risky business, and any investor is going to take all the steps possible to ensure that his or her money is safe, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor, Chris Harris.

Injecting Biomethane into the German Grid
Germany that has a natural gas consumption of 100 billion cubic metres has set itself a target of substituting 6 billion cubic metres of biomethane by 2020 and up to 10 billion cubic metres by 2030, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor, Chris Harris...

UK Commitment to Anaerobic Digestion
The UK government has set legally binding targets in the Climate Change Act of a 26 per cent cut in CO₂ emissions from the 1990 level by 2020 and an 80 per cent cut in all greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor...

Support for On-farm Renewable Energy Schemes
The US has set some tough targets for renewable fuels and energy over the coming years, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor, Chris Harris.

Lasers are Making Solar Cells Competitive
Solar electricity has a future: It is renewable and available in unlimited quantities, and it does not produce any gases detrimental to the climate, according to researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute.

Best Practice for Energy Crops
Energy and bio-processing are potentially one of the main pillars to support Irish agriculture up to 2030, writes TheBioEnergySite senior editor, Chris Harris.

Outlook for Biofuels in Ireland
The Irish biofuels industry has been hit by several external forces in recent times, including a turbulent oil price and an influx of cheap imports from the USA, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor, Chris Harris.

Moving to a Low Carbon Economy
With the agreement on the Climate and Energy Package, the European Community has confirmed its determination to move towards a low carbon energy economy in which renewable energies play a significant role, writes TheBioenergySite senior editor Chris ...

Developing Biomass CHP in Ireland
CHP is the combined production of heat and power in a single process. Biomass CHP is a highly efficient means of generating electricity as it allows the use of lower grade thermal energy that cannot be converted into electricity, Tom Bruton and Fred Tottenham...
