Small-scale anaerobic digestion: case studies in Western Europe

Abstract

This brochure is intended to meet farmers’ demand for more information concerning the current market situation of the small-scale anaerobic digestion technology. The authors aim to quickly guide those who are interested in the technology so that they can adopt a targeted approach in their search for information. This brochure elaborates on how the implementation of small-scale anaerobic digestion can take place at the company level, based on five practical examples. A broad market study in a second part of this brochure shows that there are already many European providers that focus on small-scale digestion. Some are still in a pilot phase, while others have already realized full-scale operational installations.
