Following a 10-year analysis of the scale of methane leakage at almost 1,000 AD plants across the UK and Europe, Tim Elsome, General Manager of biogas specialists FM BioEnergy, outlines why now is the ideal time to tackle unidentified biogas leaks – and how to protect your plant, profits and the planet. The risks of doing nothing.

Further research by DeSmog has shown that Eni’s company magazine Ecos made repeated references to climate change during the late 1980s and 1990s — while running advertising campaigns promoting natural gas, which is mostly comprised of planet-warming methane, as a “clean” fuel. ‘Friend Methane! ‘Friend Methane!

The Caieiras landfill has a biogas-fueled thermal power plant, where methane (CH 4 ) from decomposing organic matter drives electricity generators. CTL burns some of its CH 4 to produce CO 2 and steam (since CH 4 has 21 times the global warming potential of CO 2 ) and sends the rest to a thermal power plant with which it partners.

In addition, some bioplastics produce methane gas when they decompose, a compound with a global warming potential 25 times that of CO2. For example, in 2019, the BBC found that compostable plastics in Wales were going to landfills rather than being composted because almost all local councils were unable to deal with them.

As water vapor itself is a potent greenhouse gas, more water vapor in the atmosphere means accelerated global warming.
