INTRODUCTION
2. About RENAC
• RENAC is a Berlin-based training specialist for renewable energy and energy
efficiency
• So far we have had participants from over 130 countries
• We offer renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE):
– Training
– Academic education
www.biogas3.eu
– Academic education
• We support third parties in building up RE and EE training programmes (fit out
of training centres, teaching materials, Train-the-Trainer)
4. What can BIOGAS3 do for me?
• Free training courses & workshops
– On-line and face-to-face
– Choice of basic courses, specialised workshops, webinars…
• Personalised feasibility studies
– With the software smallBIOGAS, to check if your feedstock and site
www.biogas3.eu
– With the software smallBIOGAS, to check if your feedstock and site
are suitable for a small-scale biogas plant.
• Networking and one-to-one activities
– Contact to specialised biogas plant technologists and technology
centres that will help you to outline the best project
• Implementation of new small-scale biogas plants
6. BIOGAS3 publications

11. Feed-in tariffs in Germany, 2015
• The feed-in tariff depends on the substrate that is digested to biogas.
The predicted feed-in tariffs for digestion of organic wastes are:
For the digestion of organic wastes:
www.biogas3.eu
o 15,26 c€/kWhel up to an installed capacity of 500kW
o 13,38 c€/kWhel up to an installed capacity of 20MW
For the digestion of manure:
o 23,73 c€/kWhel, if
§ electricity is produced at the location of biogas plant.
§ installed capacity does not exceed 75kW.
§ the share of manure has a minimum of 80% liquid manure.
12. Costs
• Typical investment costs 100 kWel biogas plant
(Germany)
Costs
www.biogas3.eu
Machinery (pumps, stirrer, etc.) 50,000 €
Buildings/construction (tanks, pipes, etc.) 180,000 €
Electrics, measurements, control system 50,000 €
Miscellaneous 60,000 €
Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP) 160,000 €
Total investment costs ≈ 500,000 €
16. Main parameters influencing the profitability
• Inputs
• Outputs
– availability of substrates, costs or fees for substrates
– potential to cover own energy demand, sell electricity, sell other

– potential to cover own energy demand, sell electricity, sell other
byproducts or services
– O&M costs, availability of qualified staff
for O&M, financing conditions, taxes
17. Example of a farm small-scale biogas plant
Small-scale biogas plant (installed capacity 75 kWel).
Feedstock: cattle slurry (10.950 m3/year)
Energy use: heat for self-consumption,
electrical energy is fed into local power grid.
Data obtained from a report of Bio4Gas GmbH
Dairy farm, Gießen (Germany)
www.biogas3.eu
electrical energy is fed into local power grid.
Estimated payback period = 6 years
Digester: 600 m3
Biogas valorisation unit: 75 kW
Energy production: 630 MWhel/a; 740 MWhth/a
Investment: €500.000,--
18. Example of a farm small-scale biogas plant
Small-scale biogas plant (installed capacity 33 kWel)
Feedstock: whey
Energy use: electricity and heat for production process
Goats Cheese Dairy, Monte Ziego, Teningen (Germany)
Digester: 2 x 10 m3
www.biogas3.eu
Annual electricity yield = 58,000 kWh @ €0,16/kWh = 9,280 €/year
Annual heat yield = 131,800 kWh @ €0,05/kWh = 6,590 €/year
Assuming O&M costs equivalent to 1% of investment per year: 4,500 €/year
Benefit = 15,870 – 4,500 = 11,370 €
Data source: BIOGAS JOURNAL 2-2015 article, ‘Molke: Sehr gute Gasqualität’
Digester: 2 x 10 m3
CHP unit: 33 kWel + 70 kWth
Average daily biogas production: 95 – 120m3 Biogas/day
Average daily methane production: 64 – 80m3 CH4/day
Investment: €450.000,--
