What are the inputs and benefits of biogas production?
Unlike solar or wind, biogas is permanently available and storable – so it can be used when it is really needed. Consequently, the Bulgarian grid will benefit from a decentralized source of energy with the potential to serve as a base load or as a cold/hot reserve.
Thanks to the various positive characteristics of biogas, the Bulgarian farmers will not only benefit from the production of energy. They can also use the manure as a valuable fertilizer subsequent to the fermentation process and avoid odor nuisance, N2O, CH4 and CO2 emissions.
Biogas plants for animal farm waste are the best option to avoid the upcoming sanctions to be imposed from 1.01.2016 in connection with EU legislation for methane emissions reduction and responsibility for climate change for Bulgarian pastoralists.
What type of equipment is the most suitable for Bulgaria?
The most suitable equipment for Bulgaria are agricultural biogas plants due to the country’s large percentage of agricultural area.
