Livestock manure and crop residue for energy generation: Macro-assessment at a national scale

Livestock manure and crop residue can be processed in an environmentally acceptable way through anaerobic digestion to generate biogas, also, under an integrated production scheme, providing fertiliser and heat as by-products. The most valuable use of the produced biogas (i.e. for the generation of electricity or a gaseous biofuel) depends on specific economic conditions and other constraints which cannot be generalised.
