Details

Biomethane is derived from landfill and anaerobic digestion.

This report reviews on a case-by-case basis to set out a representative cross-section of this sector in the UK the

  • landfill sites available
  • anaerobic digestion plants available

The report was completed to determine when economical for biogas producers to supply transport instead of the heat and electricity sectors.

The results were used in the ‘Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation: proposed changes for 2017’ consultation.
