[Digestion] High costs of biogass plants in Norway

[Paul Harris]

G'day All,

 

Please try to accept peoples personal opinions without attacking the person.
If the opinion appears wrong to you leave individuals out and explain your
own point of view, please.

 

In my opinion anaerobic digesters are just part of a waste treatment system
that may also generate energy and organic fertiliser. The type of digester
needs to be selected keeping in mind the expertise and situation/climate in
which the digester will operate. With this in mind the digesters suitable
for Europe (and North America?) will probably not be suitable for most
situations in Australia (where we have LOTS of space and technical support
may be a long distance away) and definitely not for some of the less
developed tropical countries. That said why should the less developed
countries (who need, not want, energy more than Europe and USA) be deprived
of the benefits of AD, where some treatment is better than none, because
they don't meet "our" standards?

 

We are all trying to learn, but I think one of the reasons AD is not greatly
accepted/adopted in Australia is the perceived complexity/cost.

 

Happy digesting,

HOOROO
