In Germany, a new BirdLife Europe report released reveals that the increasing reliance on biomass for heating and cooling in Europe is harming the climate more than helping it. The report highlights how bioenergy, particularly wood combustion, is far from carbon-neutral and poses serious environmental, economic, and health risks. Biomass – organic material like wood, […]
In the UK, Finacas Verdes reports British startup Bluemethane installed its first production-scale methane capture unit in partnership with ReGenEarth at a biogas plant. The technology aims to recover the residual methane present in the digestate the post-processing sludge of anaerobic digesters, which would normally be released into the atmosphere and wasting energy and contributing […]
In the UK, Greencore has taken a significant step toward a greener future by launching a new fleet of 15 vehicles powered by Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), a renewable diesel alternative that reduces carbon emissions by up to 90%.
