Agricultural Biogas & Cogeneration / CHP

SHARE

Agricultural biogas plants utilise organic materials found on farms to generate biogas, a renewable fuel source and in turn renewable power through cogeneration / combined heat & power. The plant may be designed to accept energy crops that have been grown specifically to input into the digestion facility or agricultural wastes. These crops are typically ensilaged and stored in clamps or hoppers and are continuously fed into the digester throughout the year. In India biogas plants may be called gober gas plants.
