Knowledge & Practice
Practical knowledge on biogas, hydrolysis, straw digestion, biochar and funding – from more than 30 years of experience.
Do you have the same question, the same doubts as so many others? We were asked: Why is there a plus of 35% on the biogas yield at SLP biogas plants? What is the source of the biogas yield figures? What is the basis of the calculation? The biogas yield figures are…
Do you have leftover biomass and are looking for the right way to use it?
Then take a look at our Carbon Box and make your own biochar!
This is a frequently asked questions of potential customers. Most of them have no experience with thermophilic operation and none of them with hyper-thermophilic operation of biogas plants. Many are often informed that temperature has a negligible impact on biogas yield, with such information commonly provided by sales representatives of single-stage biogas plants. These individuals…
Maybe you know Snow Leopard, our story and our biological process. Maybe you have asked yourself, how Snow Leopard can achieve those biogas yields that they are claiming. We´ve been asked so many times how we can explain or prove that our pre-treatment with Batch Hydrolysis in hyper-thermophilic mode saves 20% and more feedstock for…
We are delighted to introduce our 9th podcast guest today: Walter Danner, founder and visionary of “Char2Cool”. We talk about why Walter founded his own company “snowleopard project”, which builds biogas plants worldwide and uses them to finance his own aid organisation “Char2Cool”. Walter also explains how he came up with the innovative idea…
The so-called profit skimming for energy producers is currently under discussion. The government and its officials want to collect the “exorbitant” “windfall profits”. All for the good of the people, of course.
Biogas plants included. But there, REVENUE is to be skimmed off.
If I wanted to sabotage the energy transition, I would skim off biogas plants too.
Investors are cautious people and want to avoid risks. Mesophilic is common and known. The biogas yields are poor. Operating thermophilic saves Capex and Opex and boosts ROI My Indian partners were very hesitant to accept my proposal to operate rice straw biogas plants thermophilic (55+ °C). The biogas mainstream in India goes mesophilic (37-44…
Income from heat sales is becoming more and more important, because feedstock costs are rising while the EEG feed-in tariff stays the same. Many biogas plant operators are caught in the “feedstock cost trap”. The electricity price can hardly be raised. And feedstock costs can hardly be lowered. Only more heat can be used or sold.
The SLP team has compiled the most frequent questions from biogas plant operators and other SMEs in a compact format.
