Case Study: Heat and Power generation using biogas in Besancon, France

Download Case Study: PDF Icon EnglishEnglish | FrançaisFrançais | PolskiPolski

Abstract

Several municipalities have started to investigate the possible energy uses as fuel oil of biogas, a renewable energy produced from the gasification of household and/or agricultural waste or in waste water treatment plants. The City of Besançon, member of Energie-Cités, for example, uses the biogas produced at its sewage plant to generate heat and electricity together in a single process called combined heat and power (CHP). This process allows to increase energy efficiency up to 80% and more, depending on the technology used.

Keywords: CHP - Trigeneration; Biogas

This case study was prepared by Energie-Cités in collaboration with the Municipality of Besançon. It received funding from the ALTENER Programme of DGXVII of the European Commission.
