Subdued by wind and solar? A comprehensive analysis of barriers to biogas technology uptake
A decade ago, biogas had become a promising clean energy resource for the global transition to sustainability. Biogas technology can convert organic materials, including municipal, industrial, and agricultural wastes, as well as purpose-grown crops, into methane as an energy carrier. The digestate can be used as fertiliser to provide plant nutrients and restore soil fertility. Despite its potential, the global deployment rate of biogas has slowed…
Cape Town’s Metabolism: Insights from a Material Flow Analysis
This work aims to contribute to the number of urban metabolism case studies using a standardized methodology. An economy‐wide material flow analysis (EW‐MFA) was conducted on the Metropolitan Municipality of Cape Town (South Africa) for the year 2013, using the Eurostat framework. The study provides insights into the city's metabolism through various indicators including direct material input (DMI), domestic material consumption (DMC), and direct…
