A review of potential innovations for production, conditioning and utilization of biogas with multiple criteria assessment

Biogas is a relatively mature renewable energy technology but still most commercial biogas power plants require significant financial incentives. Additionally, local shortages of very cheap digestible feedstocks limit biogas productivity, especially for larger biogas power plants (>1MWe). Innovations that could improve cost-effectiveness and resource efficiency of biogas energy technology are therefore required.
