Agricultural anaerobic digestion power plants in Ireland and Germany: policy and practice

Abstract: The process of anaerobic digestion (AD) is valued as a carbon-neutral energy source, while simultaneously treating organic waste, making it safer for disposal or use as a fertilizer on agricultural land. The AD process in many European nations, such as This article has been accepted for publication and undergone full peer review but has not been through the copyediting, typesetting, pagination and proofreading process, which may lead to differences between this version and the Version of Record.

“…Figure 3 correlates with similar studies [48], seeing a reduction in capital costs as the capacity of the plant increased. The published data available on the running of Irish farm-scale AD plants are quite limited, mainly due to the relatively low number of plants in operation [16]. Considering these limitations, this study puts forward a list of annual expenditures to provide an appropriate representation of the Irish context.…”

“…The scheme provides a tariff of 2.95 c€ kWh −1 for a period of 15 years for AD plants producing less than 300 MWh yr −1 [75]. Accounting for the cost The published data available on the running of Irish farm-scale AD plants are quite limited, mainly due to the relatively low number of plants in operation [16]. Considering these limitations, this study puts forward a list of annual expenditures to provide an appropriate representation of the Irish context.…”

“…In order to determine feedstock composition and operating conditions, a characterization of current Irish AD facilities was carried out. All Irish farm-based AD plants currently operate at mesophilic temperatures and process slurry co-digested with food production waste, including FOG (Auer et al, 2016). By visiting these AD facilities and utilizing knowledge gained in Auer et al, the following operation conditions and feedstock composition were determined.…”
