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?

Why AI Won't Take My Job – Real Talk on Digester Measurement Tools
There are many ways to measure your digester’s performance. In this new video, Trisha explains the different lab tests that can be performed to help you understand your Organic Removal Rate, (how much of the organics that are being fed are actually being digested). Have questions? Let us know in the comments!
Measuring Digester Performance – Organic Removal Rate
An energizing couple of days for #TeamPlaid's James and Peter as they visited St. Louis for the Business of Biogas conference. Timely startup and stable biology are key components of anaerobic digester project success and there were lots of discussions about how project developers are reducing risk and improving project start-up time. We'd like to thank the American Biogas Council for brining together renewable energy professionals dedicated to growing the biogas and RNG industry.
Event Recap – Business of Biogas 2025
Big thanks to the Canadian Biogas Association for another fabulous Value of Biogas Conference! #TeamPlaid had a short but sweet trip to Alberta this week to meet current digester clients, connect with biogas & RNG leaders, and discuss biogas production opportunities here in Canada. Check out the video for event highlights!

Managing hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is critical for maintaining the biological health of your digester and the physical safety of your operators. This matters both inside your digester but also in your receiving and feed systems, and your end storage tanks too. In his latest deep dive video Azura’s Principal Engineer, David Ellis discusses the parameters that affect H2S and how to assess feedstocks to keep your digester running efficiently. 📝 Download your own copy of Azura’s H2S Rainbow chart to see how pH and temperature can quickly change the H2S gas in your digester or feedstock tank - https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/8542yXp/H2SRainbowChart Chapters in this video: 00:00 Why is hydrogen sulfide (H2S) management important for anaerobic digesters? 00:40 What does H2S stand for and other terminology 02:49 How does H2S affect digester biology? 04:06 How do pH and temperature affect H2S in a digester? 06:27 How does H2S affect feedstock safety? 08:56 Where do the sulfur compounds (H2S) come from? 11:05 How do you manage H2S in a digester?
