Feasibility study of biogas plantsFull assessment. The technical, economic and environmental factors involved in the transformation of organic substrates into useful bioenergy.

When setting up a biogas plant with specific boundary conditions, it is essential to know the feasibility and profitability of the project. This includes information regarding potential cost savings, CO2 emission savings, branding, CSR and other issues. Specifically, an analysis of the different technical and economic factors that affect the viability of a biogas and/or biomethane project is necessary to define an appropriate design and a profitable business model

• Conducting an initial diagnosis by assessing various aspects such as energy, environmental, logistical, agricultural, legislative, etc. that have an influence on the project.
• A study on the availability and characteristics of agro-industrial waste for co-digestion
• If applicable, testing of maximum biogas production potential for significant waste or waste mixtures
• If appropriate, simulation of pilot scale co-digestion processes with selected mixtures: evaluation of optimal organic load, effect of pre-treatments, quality of biogas and digestate, etc. Determining the optimal mix to maximise biogas production
• If appropriate, digestate quality assessment and crop application testing
• Drafting a report describing the raw materials to be used, technical characteristics and basic operation of the biogas plant, intended use of the biogas, investment and operating costs, energy, environmental and economic balances, as well as other relevant elements
