Thank you for the question, Natalia! We can definitely talk about how AI plays an important role when it comes to biogas and RNG projects.
Before investing in or starting a biogas project, it is essential to assess whether it is both technically and financially viable. Traditional studies can take months or even years, requiring manual calculations and assumptions that may not even be entirely accurate. This is where our software suite comes into play.
• Anessa AD A quickly analyzes inputs, financial considerations, and outputs needed to confidently predict biogas project feasibility.
• The software helps you account for what-if scenarios and risks by letting you explore multiple scenarios so that you can plan ahead for variables such as tipping fees, transportation costs, quantity and quality of feedstock, and energy prices.
• Anessa AI identifies potential risks and opportunities to maximize return on investment.
Once the roadmap is established, the next challenge is to design an efficient system that will maximize biogas yield and reduce operational costs.
• AI-driven simulations like Anessa AD•O (https://www.anessa.com/anessa-ado) allow us to test different scenarios, feedstock combinations, and optimize plant layout and process parameters.
• The predictive nature of these products helps forecast the best feedstock mix for sustained biogas production.
• Anessa’s digital twin technology allows you to test and refine your biogas project in a virtual environment before breaking ground, saving you from costly mistakes. In an industry where a single miscalculation can lead to massive financial setbacks, delays, or even operational failures, having the ability to predict outcomes and optimize designs ahead of time and before spending resources is a game-changer. By identifying potential issues before they become real-world problems, Anessa helps you build smarter, faster, and with confidence.
Once the design of the efficient biogas system is identified, the next challenge is operating a biogas plant efficiently, which requires real-time and continuous monitoring, as well as quick decision-making. Equipment failures, feedstock inconsistencies or environmental fluctuations can impact performance and profitability in expensive ways that can be easily mitigated with reliable biogas monitoring
• Anessa AD•M (https://www.anessa.com/anessa-adm) continuously monitors plant performance and provides AI-generated recommendations for any adjustments.
• It detects anomalies in gas production, temperature, pH and pressure, preventing breakdowns before they even happen.
• The platform also receives alerts and provides suggested corrective actions to help operators maintain the safety of their plant operations.
As the demand for clean and renewable energies increases and biogas projects scale, compliance with government regulations and sustainability goals becomes critical. Tracking emissions, reporting and lifecycle assessments require precise data management.
How Anessa AI helps:
• AI automates compliance tracking, reducing the burden of manual documentation.
• Data analytics help organizations meet carbon credit requirements and maximize sustainability.
• AI tools simplify regulatory submissions, making it easy to adhere to environmental laws.
