Abstract
For the next CU Energy Network seminar, we are delighted to welcome Dr Michal Chesshire of BiogenGreenfinch, a leader in the construction and operation of anaerobic digesters.
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a natural biological process whereby organic material, such as manure, sewage sludge and food waste, is recycled into biofertiliser and biogas. It is therefore a waste management process, a nutrient management process and a renewable energy process. AD is practised worldwide in many different ways from the very small scale in China to industrial scale in Europe. This presentation will give the background to the process of AD and how biogas is used. Examples of digesters across the world will be shown to demonstrate the diversity of the process and its very different market drivers.
Series This talk is part of the The Cambridge University Energy Network (CUEN) series.
