Anaerobic Digestion Popularity Rises as Governments Start to Subsidise
The word is spreading fast. Anaerobic Digestion is a natural waste composting process. It is simply composting without air. It is the only way to produce methane naturally, and methane is extremely useful as a non-fossil fuel, and non climate-changing fuel, and many govenments especially in Europe are beginning to realise this and subsidise the process for farmers and industrial users.
Why, methane can even be processed into the car fuel “bioethanol” and “bio-diesel”!
It is so much better to make biodiesel from non-food sources, and the best is to use it to make electricty and biofuel from organic wastes, such as farm slurries, sewage sludge etc. These materials are often nowadays still being sent into landfills where they add to the odour problems.
The technology for Anaerobic Digestion is not nearly as well developed as for most other technologies as for so long nobody was willing to invest in it.
Now things are changing especially in Europe and governments are starting to subsidies Anaerobic digestion installations. Plant will soon get much chepaer as thye become of-the shelf items.
Encourage your local politicians to support anaerobic digestion of waste organic materials. Reduce taxes on AD produced biofuel. It makes sense. AD has masses of things about it which are better than composting aerobically.
