ABSTRACT
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of manure is a technique that has been applied for several decades. Whereas the first AD installations experienced various technical difficulties, nowadays it is considered to be a technically proven and commercially attractive way to produce renewable energy. The advantages of biogas plants are manifold:
economically attractive investment
easily operated and safe installation (no technical background required)
production of renewable electricity and heat, resulting in a reduction of CO2 emissions
reduction of methane emissions from manure storage
improvement of the fertilizing qualities of manure.
