Abstract
Biogas is one of the most common renewable energy resources. It can be produced by the anaerobic fermentation of wood or agricultural waste, on landfills or in sewage plants. These last two ways of producing biogas are the most interesting for cities in their policies of promoting renewable energies. The use of biogas is also interesting economically as it is in 1999, already one of the cheapest renewable energy sources. It often is burned in combined heat and power plants, but it can also be injected in local, natural gas networks. In Aalborg, in Northern Denmark, a biogas plant utilising a combination of manure, industrial waste, and organic, house hold waste was finished in 1997. The biogas is utilised in a nearby co-generation unit.
