Balancing gas supply and demand with a sustainable gas supply chain – A study based on field data

Effects of changes in Italian bioenergy promotion schemes for agricultural biogas projects: Insights from a regional optimization model

“…Optimization is more often meant to improve the performance of individual biogas plants (Kana et al, 2012;Thorin et al, 2012) or sections of supply chains (Bekkering et al, 2010), rather than to analyze or design supply chains as a whole. policy conditions for biogas generation.…”

Biomethane as transport fuel – A comparison with other biogas utilization pathways in northern Italy

“…The comparison between different biogas utilization pathways is commonly performed by considering the primary energy input-output ratio (PEIO) [30,31], while optimization is more often meant to improve the performance of individual biogas plants [32,33] or sections of supply chains [34] than to analyze or design supply chains as a whole.…”

Biomethane: A Renewable Resource as Vehicle Fuel

“…Finally, the cost of the third phase is lower than the other two phases, if the production location is not far from the distribution grid [28]. The treatment of ofmsw as a substrate determines from one side the income because the process of urban waste is a paid service and from the other side also the cost for pre-treatment required.…”

“…The economic feasibility of biogas plants is well defined in the literature [28], but also, the analysis of biomethane production is analyzed for several final uses (fed into the grid, destined for cogeneration or sold as vehicle fuel) [13]. However, there are several approaches.…”
