The document discusses whether anaerobic digestion (AD) facilities should be installed on every farm in the UK. It notes there are over 400,000 farming enterprises but only around 40,000 are large enough to support an AD plant. Currently fewer than 200 farms have AD, but the goal is to increase that to 10,000 farms by 2020. A panel discussion was held on the topic, chaired by Michael Cheshire from Evergreen Gas, with representatives from the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association, Forum for the Future, Advanced Anaerobics, JF Temple & Son farm, and Energy Now.

1. The document discusses the potential benefits and drawbacks of installing anaerobic digestion (AD) systems on farms.
2. Benefits include making use of livestock manure and other farm waste as feedstocks, as well as flexibility in feedstock use and ability to generate heat and electricity. However, poor infrastructure access and high maintenance needs could be drawbacks.
3. The benefits of AD may be greatest when fully integrated into the farming system, such as with housed livestock providing manure, rather than as a standalone enterprise. Small farms could cooperate but transport costs would be higher.
Nicky Conway, Forum for the Future
The document discusses the potential for farms in the UK to contribute to renewable energy production through various technologies like solar, wind, and anaerobic digestion (AD). It finds that farms could provide 10-20 GW of renewable energy capacity, equivalent to 10.5-21% of the UK's total energy in 2013. Specifically for AD, the document estimates that if all suitable dairy farms or 1,800 farms installed AD systems, they could generate 0.1 GW or 0.9 GW of capacity respectively. The document also notes that farm-scale renewable energy could provide farmers a new income source to help ensure the viability of their businesses and continue food production.
Renewable Futures
The document discusses renewable energy sources and their potential to meet global energy demands. It notes that renewable sources currently make up only 3.4% of global power generation but are growing rapidly, especially wind and solar power. The document argues that renewable technologies could provide significant employment opportunities and that a small group committed to developing renewables can make a big impact on addressing global energy needs.
Solutions module
The document discusses the need to transition away from fossil fuels to more sustainable energy sources in order to address climate change. It outlines current trends showing that over 80% of energy comes from damaging fossil fuels. It then provides examples of solutions that already exist, such as increasing use of wind, solar and other renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and implementing a smart grid. While the transition will be difficult and costly, it will also create jobs and make communities healthier while protecting the planet for future generations.
Going green
The document discusses various efforts to address global warming through reducing carbon emissions, including incentives for more fuel efficient vehicles, developing renewable energy sources, and taxing carbon emissions. It also provides examples of current and developing green technologies like solar panels, wind turbines, geothermal systems, algae biofuels, and carbon credits. The costs of alternative fuels are compared to traditional sources like coal and policies to promote green jobs are mentioned.

Teaching the duck to fly
The document discusses strategies for integrating solar power into the electric grid to address the "duck curve" problem of steep ramping needs in the late afternoon as solar power declines. It outlines 10 strategies including targeted energy efficiency, orienting solar panels westward, using solar thermal storage, controlling electric water and air conditioning loads, retiring older inflexible power plants, implementing demand response programs, and increasing regional power exchanges. Implementing all of the strategies could potentially increase the system's hourly load factor from 63% to 83% while lowering peak ramping needs. The strategies aim to better align variable power resources with electricity demand through demand flexibility and storage techniques.

Peter Kydd - Sustainable Severn Forum 2015
The document discusses how decreasing carbon emissions to 2050 could double electricity demand in the UK. It analyzes how current energy policy focused on gas, nuclear and renewables may not be enough to meet the projected demand of 720TWh/yr by 2050 as electricity replaces transport and heating. All forms of renewables, including tidal range, tidal stream, wave and offshore wind projects in the Severn Estuary could provide up to 20GW of power but projects face challenges of governance, planning, timeframes and market appetite. The conclusion calls for a proactive, diverse development plan covering multiple technologies in the Severn to balance energy production with environmental and societal impacts.

Gulf Power generates electricity primarily through coal-fired power plants, supplying over 400,000 customers across northwest Florida. However, coal mining damages the environment and health. The author proposes a sustainability plan where Gulf Power transitions to 50% solar power by 2025, closing the coal-reliant Smith plant by 2020 and converting it to a solar hub. Coal employees would be retrained for solar installation and habitats restored, generating jobs while reducing pollution.

Adrian Gault, CCC
The Committee on Climate Change published its latest advice on UK progress reducing emissions. While emissions fell 8% in 2014, uncertainties remain in power, buildings, transport and other sectors. The Committee recommends extending low-carbon policies and funding streams beyond the next few years to provide certainty. It also recommends specific actions in the power, buildings and transport sectors. The Committee sees potential for significant sustainable bioenergy supply from waste and residues, including for anaerobic digestion, but notes it is important to use this optimally and avoid lock-in to keep options open. The government must respond to the report by October, and the Committee will advise on the fifth carbon budget by end of year.
Dustin Benton, Geen Alliance
The document summarizes a panel discussion on the outlook for anaerobic digestion (AD) in the UK and its future role in the energy and resources industry. The panel, chaired by Charlotte Morton from the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA), included Chris Huhne from ADBA, Tony Glover from the Energy Networks Association, and Adrian Gault from the Committee on Climate Change. Dustin Benton from Green Alliance presented on AD's potential contributions to energy supply and the circular economy. Key points discussed included AD projections, feedstock competition issues, and the importance of proper food waste collection systems to maximize the scale and value of AD.
Chris Huhne, ADBA
This document summarizes a panel discussion on the outlook for anaerobic digestion (AD) in the UK given the new Conservative majority government. It was noted that AD has advantages over other renewables as it is dispatchable and low cost. However, support mechanisms like the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) may be threatened by budget cuts. The panel discussed strategies for making the case for AD and working with allies to counter potential political risks and support a shift to bill-funded support instead of cuts to the RHI. Key messages were that AD is low cost when accounting for dispatchability, cuts carbon cost-effectively, and supports rural jobs.
Matt Hindle, ADBA
This document discusses the current state of anaerobic digestion (AD) on UK farms and proposals to incentivize more on-farm AD through changes to the UK Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program. The panel discusses how current FIT rates are too low to support 8% project returns for small-scale AD plants. While a tight budget may prevent across-the-board FIT increases, new mechanisms for pre-accreditation and a separate small-scale AD tariff are proposed to better support on-farm projects and recognize wider environmental benefits. The panel predicts FIT reforms and any new tariffs would likely be announced in early 2016 following government consultation later in 2015.
Richard Swannell, WRAP
This document discusses the current state and future direction of waste policy in the UK. It notes that while anaerobic digestion of food waste has increased, the rate of adopting food waste collection is slowing. Two main challenges are addressed: increasing household food waste collection through collaboration between industry and local authorities, and developing higher value uses for digestate to improve the economics of anaerobic digestion plants. The document advocates an action plan to maximize food waste collection and supply to anaerobic digestion. It also suggests using innovative technologies and a biorefinery approach to transform digestate into new platform chemicals, nutrients, and other products in order to revolutionize anaerobic digestion and waste management.
Dr Dominic Hogg, Eunomia
The document discusses UK waste policy and food waste management. It summarizes current EU and national policies regarding waste management hierarchies and encouraging separate collection and treatment of food waste. It notes that while policy guidance promotes sending food waste to anaerobic digestion, some local authorities still over-specify for incineration and do not fully implement food waste collection. The document argues against a ban on landfilling food waste and instead favors policies to directly encourage recycling and prevention. It also questions whether animal by-product policies need reform.
Charlotte Morton, ADBA
Charlotte Morton, Chief Executive of the Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA), welcomed attendees to the conference and discussed the potential and current contribution of anaerobic digestion (AD) in the UK. AD could meet 30% of UK domestic gas demand, cut greenhouse gas emissions by 4%, replace 10% of artificial fertilizers, and create 35,000 jobs. Currently, AD recycles 1.6 million tons of food waste annually, generates over 7TWh of biogas, provides over 20,000 m3 of biomethane per hour, and employs 4,500 people. Morton calls for increased support of AD to help realize its potential.
Anna Karamat, European Commission
The document discusses the European Commission's perspective on moving towards a circular economy and improving waste policy. It outlines the Commission's plans to adopt a new waste package by the end of 2015 that better addresses prevention, reuse, and the different situations of EU member states. The package will include a revised legislative proposal on waste and additional initiatives covering extraction, production, product design, distribution, consumption, and waste. Supporting measures will include funding from EU structural funds and research to disseminate best practices.

Biochar Stoves:The Commercialization and Advantages
Biochar stoves are an exciting new technology that reduce poverty, improve health, curb climate change, increase food security and decreas desertification.
How? Biochar stoves gasify waste biomass such as grass, husks or dried manure to produce heat for cooking. The charcoal byproduct, biochar, is a carbon-negative soil amendment that increases water and nutrient retention thus increasing soil’s adaptability to the extreme floods and droughts of climate change.
Journey to the Future: An Economy in Harmony with Nature
Our political and business leaders tell us that economic growth is the answer to everything, increasing GDP. From Nature’s perspective, however, GDP stands for Gross Depletion of the Planet.
How can we build a new cooperative economy that will enable us to meet our human needs, while restoring ecological integrity, and ensuring that Earth’s eight million other species are able to meet their needs too?
Guy Dauncey’s latest book Journey to the Future: A Better World is Possible offers a compelling vision of a green future where a new cooperative economy is being put in place.

Australian dairy farmers are implementing strategies to produce more milk using fewer resources in response to climate change and limited suitable land for food production. These "smart" strategies include breeding cows for higher feed efficiency, optimized feeding to support larger cows that produce more milk, and improved animal management practices like thrice daily milking. Adopting these practices can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from dairy farming by up to 30% by producing the same amount of milk from fewer, more efficient cows that graze less land area. The dairy industry is focusing on using resources smarter to help address climate change impacts and food security needs.

Industrial revolution pp 2013
The industrial revolution led to massive social and economic changes across Europe and North America. New machines and technologies transformed agriculture and manufacturing, leading many farmers to migrate to cities in search of work. This urbanization increased the population of cities dramatically and created new social classes. While some prospered, many workers faced difficult conditions including long hours, low pay, child labor, and unsafe environments. Reformers pushed for changes to protect workers and regulate the excesses of industry.

Most AD plants in 2013 spread digestate straight to land without separating it first. A survey found digestate management cost the average plant -£3.73/tonne, totaling an estimated £7.9 million cost to the industry. As AD capacity increases, the amount of digestate produced is also growing rapidly at a time when key support mechanisms for the industry like feed-in tariffs are decreasing. There is potential to increase the value of digestate fiber from £5/tonne as fertilizer to £100/tonne by using it as a horticultural growing medium.

Ann Ballinger, Eunomia
Ann Ballinger from Eunomia Research & Consulting presented the results of a cost benefit analysis of different options for managing digestate from anaerobic digestion in Wales. The analysis considered eight options including applying whole digestate to agricultural land, dilution to different dry solid percentages, various treatment processes, and transport distances. The results showed that applying whole digestate to land was the best option environmentally but that financial costs increased with additional processing. Dilution to 20% dry solids with 80km transport had the lowest overall costs. Biological oxidation of liquor followed by discharge to watercourses was also competitive. Longer transport distances favored treatment before land application.

The document discusses the challenges with using digestate as a fertilizer. It notes that the inherent fertilizer value of digestate is modest, especially in the autumn, but that digestate can be more valuable than just the sum of its nutrients. However, waste-derived digestates are difficult to upgrade to increase their value. While digestate has some nutrient value as a fertilizer, this value is usually not enough to cover the costs of recovering and processing the digestate. Operators may need to upgrade digestate to guarantee having a market for it.

There are frequent accidents at anaerobic digestion plants during construction and operation due to gas explosions and exposure to toxic hydrogen sulfide gas. Many of these accidents are preventable through proper risk mitigation measures. During construction, risks can be reduced through adherence to the Construction Design and Management regulations, which require principal designers and careful attention to interfaces between equipment. During operation, permanent gas monitoring, confined space procedures, training, and permit-to-work programs can help protect workers from gas exposure. Incident reports show common risks involve maintenance activities, mixing of feedstocks, and overloading of digesters leading to gas release.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.
