Agricultural Biogas and CHP / Cogeneration - Brochure

The farming industry offers a range of potential applications for agricultural biogas systems. Arable land can be used to grow crops which are fed into dedicated digestion systems. Alternatively waste products from the farm can be harnessed to provide renewable energy. Agricultural digestion systems are typically sized between 0.5 and 3.0MW electrical output. The heat produced by the engines is typically used in a cogeneration/ combined heat and power (CHP) configuration with heat from the engine cooling systems used to warm the digesters and pasteurise input materials. Additional heat is available from the engines to be used for local heat users such as grain driers or for district heating.
