Sponsored Content: Digester temperature: To heat or to cool?

Envirotec Magazine

Maintaining the optimum digestion temperature may require additional heating or cooling. The methanogenic bacteria in the digester are very sensitive to temperature change, and thermal shocks will reduce the level of methane production. Cooling can also be required in regions with very high ambient temperatures.

European scientists group urges ban on new natural gas boilers

Envirotec Magazine

The document highlights the extremely high global warming potential of largely unrecorded methane leakages along the whole natural gas supply chain. Methane emissions have a lifetime in the atmosphere of only about 10 years, which is ten times shorter than that of carbon dioxide. We can’t argue our way out of drastic changes.
