Abstract

Anthropogenic methane emissions primarily originate from the energy sector, agriculture, and the disposal of organic waste. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a proven technology that transforms organic waste into biogas—a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide—and biofertilizer. In Argentina, the abundance of organic waste generated by the livestock and food industries presents a significant opportunity for biogas development. Analyzing the biogas value chain through the lens of transaction cost economics, and identifying the key stakeholders and their incentives, can yield valuable insights for policymaking. Well-designed strategies based on this understanding could help consolidate the sector, support rural development, and contribute to greenhouse gas mitigation.
