Abstract

Many cities are looking for vehicle fuels and waste management systems that are environmental friendly and cost effective. At the same time many regions has a vulnerable agriculture with need for higher competitiveness. This full-scale system for co-digestion of biological municipal waste, lay crops and manure will demonstrate a new way to meet these needs. A new process technique that allows a unique low water content will enable a cost effective production and distribution system.

Objectives

The objectives are to demonstrate:

1. A process technique with new components where energy crops, municipal biological waste and manure is co-digested at a total solids concentration of around 9-15%;
2. An infrastructure with new components for storing and distribution of the different materials to and from the biogas plant;
3. Competitive as vehicle fuel and waste management system;
4. Advantage for the farmer to be part of the system.
