This position paper – developed by members of IEA Bioenergy Task 37 (“Energy from Biogas”) – provides central knowledge and features of biogas and biomethane. The main conclusion...

Global warming and climate change are imminent threats to the future of humankind. A shift from the current reliance on fossil fuels to renewable energy is key to mitigating the impacts of climate...

Energy statistics - supply, transformation and consumption of renewable energies. Data on primary production, trade (imports and exports), transformation and consumption of renewable sources by type of fuel...

Data on primary production of energy by type of fuel, expressed in thousand of tonnes oil equivalent (TOE) and Terajoule (TJ). Specifically for bioenergy, data on primary production of biofuels...

Database containing information on the composition of biomass and waste. Each data record with a unique ID-number shows information (if available) on: classification codes ultimate analysis...

Food Waste because of its composition is considered as a promising feedstock for the production of biofuels and in particular bioethanol. From a technical point of view, the production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic materials is a well-studied...

Waste management and production of clean and affordable energy are two main challenges that our societies face. Food waste (FW), in particular, can be used...

In this study, cost simulations were made based on 20 million L blended biodiesel B-10 production per year using INRS and conventional process. In case of INRS process, microbial...

This report provides estimates of the sustainable potential for biogas and biomethane supply, based on a detailed assessment of feedstock availability and production costs across all regions of the world. These...

The world’s biogas and biomethane resources could cover 20% of global gas demand while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, according to new IEA report.
