Potential errors in the quantitative evaluation of biogas production in anaerobic digestion processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Errors that are commonly made in the quantification of biogas from anaerobic digestion experiments were investigated.For liquid displacement gasometers where a barrier solution separates the biogas and the atmosphere, inaccuracy due to gas diffusion was ...

Biogas Plant Exploitation in a Middle-Sized Dairy Farm in Poland: Energetic and Economic Aspects

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
Although cow manure is a valuable natural fertilizer, it is also a source of extreme greenhouse gas emissions, mainly methane. For this reason, this study aims to determine the impact of investments in a biogas plant on the energy and economic aspects of

The Effect of Ammonia Toxicity on Methane Production of a Full-Scale Biogas Plant—An Estimation Method

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Ammonia accumulation in biogas plants reactors is becoming more frequently encountered, resulting in reduced methane (CH4) production. Ammonia toxicity occurs when N-rich substrates represent a significant part of the biogas plant’s feedstock. The aim of

Effluent solids recirculation to municipal sludge digesters enhances long-chain fatty acids degradation capacity

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Background Slow degradation kinetics of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) and their accumulation in anaerobic digesters disrupt methanogenic activity and biogas production at high loads of waste lipids.

Consumers' Willingness to Pay a Premium for Climate‐Friendly Food Production: The Role of Production Method Information and Social Norms

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines whether information about production methods and social norms can increase consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) a price premium for food produced using climate‐friendly farming methods. A randomized survey experiment was conducted with 1568 respondents across Denmark, Lithuania, and Spain, who were assigned to one of four ...

Enhanced biogas production via dual‐layer model predictive control for thermophilic anaerobic digesters

open access: yesAIChE Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Thermophilic anaerobic digestion (AD) is an attractive process due to its higher biogas yield compared to mesophilic digestion. To mitigate its higher heating demand and potential process instability, a dual‐layer control architecture comprising a decision‐making layer and an adaptive model predictive control (MPC) system is proposed.

How to decentralise our energy supply using biogas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The purpose of the project discussed in this report was to demonstrate that biogas energy systems are an integral and relevant part of ensuring a sustainable future. In order to do this, the first objective of the project was to develop a methodology for

Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...
