Biogas in Denmark

20 centralized plants

60 farm scale plants

The oldest are build in the 80´ties

Biogas in Denmark

• Operate under thermophilic (55 ºC) or mesophilic (37 ºC) conditions

• 70 - 80 % of the biomass is manure and 20 – 30 % is industrial waste

• The centralized plants treat about 1,5 million ton biomass per year, in total, and the biggest plants treat about 170.000 m3 per year

• The production from 1 m3 manure is about 35 m3 biogas (~ 65 % is methane)

• 1 Nm3 biogas ~ 1,10 liters of petrol

• Biogas constitute less than 5 % of the total energy production in Denmark
