The Danish biogas model

AEBIG and AVEBIOM have chosen Denmark as guest country at the II Renewable Gas Show for the important development of biogas and biomethane that it has achieved and for the determined business commitment to bring 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 network. 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 all of the country's 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 than many small capacity plants, or it analyzes in detail the convenience 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 undisputed public support for the development of the sector in Denmark is behind its success. Not only due to the implementation of economic support measures, but also due to the simplification of procedures and the elimination of barriers. For example, all Danish municipalities must define suitable locations for installing biogas plants in their spatial planning plans. The objective of the Danish authorities is to reduce investor risk as much as possible.

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.
