A new report from the European Biogas Association (EBA) outlines the benefits of two processes key to the production of biogas and how they could outweigh the current cost of producing the clean fuel.
The study, ‘Beyond energy: monetising biomethane’s whole system benefits’ revealed that anaerobic digestion could deliver an additional benefit of 84-175 €/MWh (euro per megawatt hour) of biomethane produced, while thermal gasification could deliver an additional 80-162 €/MWh.
According to the EBA, these benefits outweigh the current cost of producing biomethane through these technologies (55-100 €/MWh respectively).
Undertaken by Guidehouse, the new study has quantified the value of a range of benefits that are either not fully rewarded or recognised by society at large for a range of sustainable feedstocks.
