4. Increase of biogas production by incorporating residual streams from agriculture
University essay from Lunds universitet/Kemiteknik (CI)Abstract : To expand the biogas production in Region Västra Götaland (RVG), residual streams from the agricultural sector can function as a large-scale supplier of biomass. The production of biogas decreases the dependence of fossil fuels and the digestate that is formed can also be returned to the agricultural sector, creating a closed loop. READ MORE
