Using Waste for Energy One of the most important environmental issues faced by our generation, as well as future generations, is without doubt energy. This is of major concern because we are using up our nonrenewable sources at a much faster rate than they are being replenished, but at the same time we have yet to perfect ways to completely replace nonrenewable energy with renewable energy. The article “Could Generating Energy from Waste be the Answer?” explains how researchers at Teesside University

organic matter in the absence of oxygen. Biogas can be produced from regionally available raw materials such as recycled waste. It is a renewable energy source and in many cases exerts a very small carbon footprint. Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion with anaerobic bacteria or fermentation of biodegradable materials such as manure,sewage, municipal waste, green waste, plant material, and crops.[1] It is primarily methane (CH 4) and carbon dioxide (CO 2) and may have small amounts of hydrogen

Experience of Biogas Technology in China Biogas has a long history in China. China is one of those countries, which pioneered in the research, development and utilization of biogas. Mr. Lo Guo-rui initiated his own research work on biogas in early 1920s with the aim to reduce import of kerosene and meet fuel crisis. He built the first biogas plant in his own house in Swatow city in Kuanglong province. The plant worked well and could meet the cooking need of his 6 family members. Subsequently he

Dairy Farms: Implications of Scale Economies and Environmental Programs Elizabeth R. Leuer, Jeffrey Hyde, and Tom L. Richard A stochastic capital budget was used to analyze the effect of net metering policies and carbon credits on profitability of anaerobic digesters on dairy farms in Pennsylvania. We analyzed three different farm sizes—500, 1,000, and 2,000 cows—and considered the addition of a solids separator to the project. Results indicate that net metering policies and carbon credits increase
