Executive Summary
The following document gives an overview of existing European biogas technologies.
The structure following the introduction section about Anaerobic Digestions (AD) follows the biogas processing logic: from feedstock storage on site and necessary pre-treatment to the various digester technologies. Special chapters on important elements of any biogas plant are elaborated in detail (e.g. on measurement, control and regulation technologies).
Upgrading biogas to biomethane quality as well as various application of Biogas are introduced (e.g. its GHG mitigation potential, as Combined Heat & Power (CHP) plants).
Due to the huge amount of existing information and knowledge on this topic it may occur that not everything is included or considered extensively. We propose this deliverable as a solid starting point getting to know about anaerobic digestion. This doesn ́t replace special training courses and at least professional planning.
The detailed descriptions of certain technologies are not implying any preference to a technology, service provider or device. Similarly, pictures including company names shall not be seen as a preference to any specific company or technology. It is done for visualization
