文摘

For Denmark we find economies of scale in biogas production based on pure manure. Adding sugar beet outweigh economy of scale due to increased transport costs. We investigate the main risks associated with input prices, yield and output prices. Biogas fed into the gas grid should receive similar support as directly used in CHP. Regulation should allow large biogas plants with few restrictions on co-substrates.
