America's wastewater treatment plants are capturing only a fraction of their renewable energy potential, according to new figures from the American Biogas Council, which estimates the sector could generate enough electricity for 1.9 million US households a year if biogas capture were rolled out more widely. There are currently around 2,580 operating biogas capture facilities across the US,…

A new report from the Green Gas Taskforce has found that Northern Ireland has sufficient sustainable feedstock to generate 8 TWh of biomethane annually—enough to meet almost half of the region's existing economy-wide gas demand and more than 100 per cent of gas demand from homes and businesses. The report, titled "Northern Ireland's Green Gas Opportunity," was commissioned to assess the…

Bio Voltex has received provincial environmental impact assessment approval for a proposed biogas plant that will convert dairy farm manure and aquaculture fish waste into natural gas. The approval was granted roughly five months after the company's application was filed—a faster turnaround than many comparable Canadian projects, which can take two to three years. The facility will be…

Turkey is targeting significant expansion of domestic biomethane capacity as part of efforts to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels. A sector report estimates that upgrading existing biogas and landfill gas infrastructure could enable the country to produce up to 10 billion cubic metres of renewable biomethane annually by 2040. Turkey currently…
