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 already in the year 2000, it is one of the cheapest renewable energy sources. It is often burned in combined heat and power plants, but it can also be injected into local, natural gas networks. In Tilburg, in The Netherlands, a municipal association initiated a complex of a landfill gas installation, a biogas plant, and an upgrading plant has been running since 1994. The upgraded gas, which has natural gas quality, is injected into the natural gas network.
