Huge thanks to the Biogas World team for a fabulous RNG Forum! From touring an anaerobic digester facility, talking with leaders in the renewable energy industry, and sharing Azura’s expertise on the main stage, we couldn’t have asked for a better conference. #RNG #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability
Azura BTS – RNG Forum 2026
Digestate holds value as fertilizer, but why do many anaerobic digestion facilities see digestate management as a cost center instead of additional revenue? This was the topic of a panel presentation at the recent Value of Biogas East conference hosted by the Canadian Biogas Association. Azura's Trisha put together “Digestate Bingo” as an anonymous way for Value of Biogas conference attendees to share which digestate management challenges they had faced, and this helped to shape the conversation of the panelists - Daivd Bida, and Christine Brown, with our own Dave Ellis moderating. Thank you to everyone that played along! Want to learn more about anaerobic digestion?

Why Does Digestate Management Cost So Much?
Too much ammonia can spell trouble for your biodigester, but where does it come from? In this clip Dave takes us back to review some high-school biology and how it can affect your feedstock. 📄 Want to learn more about the ammonia levels in your digester?

Where does ammonia come from in your anaerobic digester?
Thank you to everyone that attended the Digestate Panel at last week’s Value of Biogas East conference. Azura’s Dave moderated Daniel Bida and Christine Brown's great discussion about digestate challenges and strategies for turning that cost center into a revenue stream. Trisha’s "Digestate Bingo" was an audience favorite and the crowd participation added further insights. Watch the video below to see behind the scenes! #Biogas #RNG #RenewableEnergy
BTS Value of Biogas East 2026 Digestate Panel
Say goodbye to boring biogas courses and engage with our anaerobic digester experts! On April 9th you’re invited to join Azura’s Trisha Aldovino and David Ellis for an interactive session that will boost your confidence in asking the right questions to understand biogas and RNG project viability. In just 90 minutes, you'll learn to: Ask practical, high-level questions to assess feasibility Flag issues with permitting, logistics, or community impact Identify red flags before calling in the engineering team Perform a quick feasibility screen, independently There will be two sessions on April 9 to accommodate different time zones: Session 1: 9:30-11:00 EST, for North and South America, Europe, and Africa Session 2: 20:00-21:30 EST, for Australia, Oceania, and Asia Fees: $125 CAD Register today to learn how to confidently assess biogas & RNG Projects - https://www.azuraacademy.com/live-sessions #Education #AnaerobicDigestion #Biogas #ProjectDevelopment #Sustainability

Want to know what make biogas and RNG projects work? Then “Biogas Business Case Basics Workshop” is for you! Azura has been supporting anaerobic digestion systems for more than 30 years in the United States, Canada, and globally. We’ve taken that experience and condensed it into practical education that you can use today. In this 90-minute virtual session attendees will learn how to: ✅ Formulate targeted, high-level questions to assess risks associated with project feasibility and execution. ✅ Assess the potential benefits, and community impacts of a biogas project. ✅ Independently evaluate the high-level feasibility of a biogas project, without relying on external consultants. There will be two sessions on Thursday April 9 to accommodate different time zones: Session 1: 9:30-11:00 EDT (UTC-4), for North and South America, Europe, and Africa Session 2: 20:00-21:30 EDT (UTC-4), Friday morning in Australia, Oceania, and Asia Fees: $125 CAD Register today to learn how to confidently assess biogas & RNG Projects - https://www.azuraacademy.com/live-sessions #Education #AnaerobicDigestion #Biogas #ProjectDevelopment #Sustainability

When designing a biogas project, it’s important to consider edge cases and not just one nameplate value that you’re trying to achieve. Azura's Principal Engineer, David shares a few things to consider during project feasibility in the video. Want to learn more about SLAC and how it affects biogas estimates? Check out Dave’s article here - https://azuraassociates.com/how-slac-affects-biogas-rng-estimates/ #Biogas #ProjectDevelopment #Sustainability
How does SLAC affect your anaerobic digester feedstock throughout all of the seasons?
What does a high protein diet have to do with digester foam? Check out Trisha’s video below to learn how to safely introduce more protein into your digester. Foam is a messy, sticky, and smelly problem in biodigesters. Azura has been working with anaerobic digesters in Canada, the US, Mexico, and South America for over 30 years. Foam is common issue in both biodigesters and aerobic wastewater treatment systems. Don’t let foam disrupt operations!

How much can you sell digestate for? How digestate is managed is critical to the feasibility of your biogas project. Unfortunately, ChatGPT often gets it wrong. Check out this clip from Dave about the risks of using AI on your business case. Want to learn more about how AI can be used in the biogas industry?

When AI Gets It Wrong The $75 Digestate Dilemma
AI needs clean, structured, and abundant data to be able to make accurate predictions. David Ellis explains how easy it is to have poor samples leading to incorrect results. Check out this article - https://azuraassociates.com/is-ai-reshaping-the-future-of-biogas-and-rng-operations/ for more insights into why getting enough data to properly train AI for the biogas industry remains a significant operational challenge. #AI #Biogas #Optimization
AI can't do anything about bad sampling
Just because AI can process data, that doesn’t make it a bioprocess engineer. Dave recently participated in a panel discussion about potential opportunities and risks of using AI tools in the biogas industry. In the clip below he explained why AI isn’t quite ready to take over many jobs in our industry. Want more AI & Biogas Insights?
