IEA Bioenergy Task 37: Energy from Biogas (Working Period 2019 - 2021)
Short Description
The network emphasizes discussing and exchange of knowledge of anaerobic digestion (AD) plants digesting residues, wastes and energy crops. Furthermore, knowledge exchange between the main actors like plant operators, construction companies, planners, authorities, associations, research institutions will be realised by brochures, success stories, webpages, workshops and conferences.
During the current triennium the focus lies on the ecologically and economically sound implementation of the biogas technology in agricultural and industrial processes. A wise and sustainable implementation of this technology is a global challenge which needs to be solved, while the details and specific aspects vary from region to region. In task 37 the regional and national perspectives will be showed and discussed. Another focus is the sustainable biogas production and biomethane certification, the role of anaerobic digestion for environmental protection, and the implementation in industrial processes. Another important aspect is the multipurpose use of feedstock like harvested straw instead of feeding energy crops like maize. The utilisation of the gas fraction will be another important issue. Utilisation of biomethane as a fuel and a better application of digestate in a circular economy will be the topics of utilising the products of anaerobic digestion.
