European biogas initiative to improve the yield of agricultural biogas plants

Project


Project code: 19884
Contract period: 15.01.2007 - 14.01.2010
Budget: 3,900,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research

The main objectives of the EU-AGRO-BIOGAS Project are to develop and demonstrate a standard methodology to assess the methane yield of several regionally available raw materials as substrates for an agricultural biogas plant, to develop and demonstrate an automatic monitoring, management and early-warning system for agricultural, medium to large scale biogas plants and to optimise and demonstrate innovative approaches to improve biogas yield and energy output at agricultural biogas plants. The consortium combines know-how from universities, applied research institutions and companies. To ensure an efficient technology transfer into demonstration activities at full-scale commercial agricultural biogas plants, selected operators (SMEs) of medium to large scale agricultural biogas plants have already agreed to provide access to their plants, being the main beneficiaries of the project.
