The last days of East London's urban cathedrals - Time Out London
The two gasholders sitting on the canal just above Broadway Market in East London are a beloved local landmark - no matter what's going on in your life they're always there, towering gloriously and defiantly against the skyline. But the housing juggernaut has reached the Bethnal Green gasholders. For Time Out London, I reported on the end of an era.

A great photograph from inside the old MAN waterless gasholder which use to be in Kidderminster town center. It is taken from the top of the piston looking up to the roof structure (Russell Thomas )

Granton Gas Holder.
A few more pics from my Sunday daunder.
At one time the gasworks were the biggest in Scotland and gas production continued on the site until 1987. The surviving holder dates back to 1898 and was designed by the architect Walter Herring.
Historic Scotland scuppered plans to demolish the structure by giving it a B Listed status, this meant it is "of special architectural or historic interest which are major examples of a particular period, style or building type."
Councillors recently gave the green light for the land around it to be cleared of overgrown vegetation around the waterfront landmark, clearing to make way for the post-industrial site’s redevelopment, soon becoming a public green space with areas for play, relaxation and art displays.
A central amphitheatre, ringed by trees and hedges, will be built in the holder with ‘flexible’ use to allow concerts and exhibitions there in the future, although further proposals will have to come forward to fully facilitate this.
The new park, which has now been granted planning permission, will serve an influx of new residents moving to the town, where over 3,000 sustainable homes are being built.
With councillors giving the go ahead this week, and the scheme shored up with £16m awarded from the levelling up fund last year, the project is set to pick up pace. Work to restore the instantly recognisable landmark has also been granted listed building consent. It is anticipated the new Gasholder Park will be ready to open to the public by early 2025.
Plans, drawn up by the council alongside Mclaughlin & Harvey and Tetra Tech, said bringing the site into public use will “help deliver one of the most sustainable new coastal towns in Scotland”.
They added: “Within the gasholder interior space, a peripheral ring walk will allow access from this main route around the edge of the guide frame, providing connectivity to the six activity spaces arranged around its edge.
I personally think it is great idea, we can't just keep building ne housing without any thoughts on the bairns that will grow up in the area having any real playground to pass the time in.

starting this off with every gasholder i have seen. thats a lie. i have seen more (the ones in bromley-by-bow, old kent road and bethnal green i have seen yet have no photos of sarry) but these lot are from king’s cross and rotherhithe. the latter are abandoned and not in use i am sure but the ones in kings cross have been renovated and are said to hold apartments within them…….. awesome. love these things

Biogas: Exploring the Potential of Algae as a Sustainable Energy Source A New Frontier in Renewable Energy
Tumblr media
What is Biogas? Biomethane’ is a type of biofuel produced by the biological breakdown of organic matter in the absence of oxygen. It is a gaseous mixture consisting primarily of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Biomethane’ is produced through anaerobic digestion or fermentation of organic waste such as manure, municipal solid waste, plant material, sewage, green waste or food waste. This process is carried out by microorganisms in an oxygen-free environment known as an anaerobic digester.
The Production Process of Biogas
Pre-treatment of Raw Material The initial step involves the collection and preprocessing of raw biodegradable materials that will be used for anaerobic digestion. The raw materials are processed to neutralize pH levels and remove contaminants. This pre-treatment helps speed up the digestion process.
Anaerobic Digestion After pre-treatment, the materials enter an airtight tank or digester where anaerobic microbes break down biodegradable matter in the absence of oxygen. As microorganisms decompose organic materials, they produce biomethane’ as a by-product. The most common types of digesters used are plug-flow and complete mixed digesters.
Biomethane’ Collection and Storage As it is produced, biomethane’ is collected and stored in a gasholder or covered pits or tanks until it is purified and used. Traces of hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide are removed to increase the methane content of biomethane’.
Use of Biomethane’ Finally, Biogas purified biomethane’ can be combusted for cooking and lighting purposes or used to generate electricity and heat in gas engines or boilers. The leftover digester residue known as digestate is also used as organic farm fertilizer.
Benefits of Biomethane’ Biomethane’ offers several economic and environmental advantages over conventional fuels:
Renewable Source: Biomethane’ can be produced from various organic waste streams making it a renewable source of energy. This reduces dependence on non-renewable fossil fuels.
Waste Management: Biomethane’ production helps in proper management of agricultural, industrial and municipal waste by converting waste into useful energy. This prevents environmental pollution from waste.
Energy Security: Biomethane’ bridges the gap between energy demand and supply. As a decentralized energy source, it ensures access to energy even in remote areas.
Climate Change Mitigation: Being carbon neutral, biomethane’ does not add net carbon to the atmosphere unlike coal and petroleum. Its use can help lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Job Creation: The biomethane’ industry provides employment throughout the value chain from plant construction and operation to after-sales service and maintenance.
Income Generation: Farmers and businesses involved in biomethane’ production gain monetary benefits by generating and selling biomethane’ along with by-products like digestate.
Utilization of Biomethane’ in India India has considerable potential to produce biomethane’ due to its agrarian economy and large livestock population. According to data, biomethane’ plants in India can tap over 20 million tonnes of animal waste annually to produce 4,000 MW of power. However, only around 6 million household and community-level biomethane’ plants have been installed in the country so far.
The government has introduced schemes to promote awareness and adoption of biomethane’ technology. Initiatives like the National Biomethane’ and Manure Management Programme implement technologies like floating drum plants suitable for small and marginal farmers. Biomethane’ is used predominantly for cooking and lighting needs of rural households. Recent focus is on developing larger commercial biomethane’ projects for generating electricity and compressed biomethane’ as transportation fuel. Key challenges in scaling up biomethane’ include lack of funds, technical skills and reliable supply chains for setting up larger plants.
Biomethane’ offers a practical renewable alternative to traditional biomass and fossil fuels while helping tackle pressing issues of waste management and energy security in both developing and developed nations. If developed sustainably through proper policy support and incentives, biomethane’ has huge untapped potential to address India's energy and environmental needs in the decades to come. Its scaling up will require collaborative efforts from public and private stakeholders across the biomethane’ value chain.
