The report examines the multifaceted role of biogas solutions in advancing a circular and sustainable bioeconomy. Biogas delivers renewable energy, reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and offers...

Efficient recycling of digestate as fertilizers is crucial to achieve a rapid expansion of biogas production in Sweden and Europe. This study investigated if and to what extent the biogas and biofertilizer markets...

Animal agriculture accounts for 12-20% of global greenhouse gas emissions, including direct and indirect emissions linked to large scale feed production. Fertilizer and manure management...

Defined simply as the digested residue of anaerobic digestion (AD), digestate refers to a set of heterogeneous matters featuring different biochemical compositions and physical properties inherited from greatly...

Also known as “renewable natural gas”, is a near-pure source of methane produced either by “upgrading” biogas (a process that removes any CO₂ and other contaminants present...

Hydrogen from biomass, also called “bio-hydrogen” refers today only to the hydrogen produced from steam biomethane reforming, leaving out numerous interesting biomass to hydrogen pathways...

Biogas is a mixture of methane, CO 2 and small quantities of other gases produced by anaerobic digestion of organic matter in an oxygen-free environment. The precise composition of biogas depends...

The IEA is the world’s most authoritative and comprehensive source of energy data, supporting decision makers around the world. It collects, assesses and disseminates a large portfolio of energy...

IEA’s annual Renewables Report provides forecasts for the deployment of renewable energy technologies in electricity, transport and heat, while also exploring key challenges facing the industry...
