Depth, not volume.
Reference material on the topics where our knowledge runs deepest and the field's coverage is thinnest: emerging-market compressed biogas, anaerobic digestion development and operations, and advanced thermal treatment. Written to be useful and honest about the limits, by Ben Martin.
Compressed biogas regulation in Nigeria
Nigeria has no biomethane law. How a CBG plant is licensed by analogy to natural gas under the PIA and NMDPRA, and the structural advantages hiding in the Act.
Read → Australia · PlanningPlanning approval for an AD plant in NSW
The EP&A Act pathways, when a project is State Significant Development, the EIS and SEARs process, and the operational licence that usually sets the real critical path.
Read → Advanced thermalSupercritical water gasification of wet waste
What SCWG is, why treating wet feedstock without drying is decisive for sludge and biosolids, and an honest account of when it does and does not beat incineration.
Read → Australia · DevelopmentAnaerobic digestion in Australia
The four disciplines that have to line up to develop an AD project in Australia: feedstock, planning, grid injection and finance, across NSW, Victoria and Queensland.
Read → Operations · ScienceAnaerobic digestion operations and science
The operational and microbiological reality that decides plant performance: digester stability, VFA and ammonia inhibition, BMP testing and biogas upgrading.
Read →The library is expanding. Further reference pages on feedstock basket design, biogas upgrading technology, biosolids treatment and BMP methodology are in preparation.
