AEBIG and AVEBIOM have chosen Denmark as the guest country at the 2nd Renewable Gas Exhibition due to the significant development of biogas and biomethane that it has achieved and due to the firm business commitment to bringing its technology closer to Spanish projects.
Currently the Nordic country has 200 biogas plants in operation; Half are agroindustrial and produce more than 85% of the country's biogas, while the rest of the facilities are related to water purification plants (50), landfills (30) and industries (8).
Denmark is the European country that injects the most biomethane into the gas grid . Nearly 30% of this renewable gas, from 55 plants, is already circulating through the natural gas infrastructure. The Danish government's goal is to cover the country's entire domestic demand with biomethane by 2035.
THE DANISH MODEL
The Danish biogas model seeks maximum efficiency in the use of resources ; for example, it prefers to build fewer large plants rather than many small-capacity plants, or it analyzes in detail the advisability of investing in local applications of biomethane or prioritizing its injection into the grid.
The model has shown that having industrial-sized plants manages to professionalize management, optimize resources and guarantee the correct management and traceability of the waste used and the fertilizer obtained. This last point is especially relevant in the Spanish context, where many projects will need to invest in digestate treatment.
The unwavering public support for the development of the sector in Denmark is behind its success. This support stems not only from the implementation of economic incentives but also from the simplification of procedures and the removal of barriers. For example, all Danish municipalities must identify suitable locations for biogas plants in their land-use plans. The Danish authorities aim to minimize investor risk.
10 DANISH FIRMS ON THE DENMARK STAND
In the last 40 years, the biogas sector in Denmark has evolved significantly both from the point of view of the legislative framework and technological advances and the business model. Danish technologists have developed highly reliable solutions that optimize the use of resources and which have already been tested and installed in all types of commercial plants in their country and around the world.
Their knowledge, experiences and proven solutions can contribute decisively to the viability of any biogas project.
On October 5 and 6, Denmark participates in the II Renewable Gas Show with a national stand that brings together 10 companies that offer advanced and efficient technological solutions to the entire biogas value chain, from waste pretreatment to obtaining renewable biomethane or digestate treatment.
