Abstract

For bioenergy installations producing heat, the minimum required GHG savings will be 85% from 2026. This is significant and a considerable challenge for biogas systems. This paper investigates use of biogas from pig farms at a nearby milk processing facility, a large energy user. The paper examines minimisation of greenhouse gas (GHG) associated with plant layout and in particular in transporting slurry by road to a large centralised anaerobic digestion (CAD) facility or transporting biogas by low pressure pipe from decentralised anaerobic digestion (DAD) at the pig farms.
