There is no clear standard to design, build and operate best in class facilities, and a few units built in haste and without rules can discredit our entire industry. This is why it is important to set up a certification scheme designed to improve health, safety, environmental and operational performance of biogas plants.
Some of our challenges today where the programme will help, are (not limited to):
- Accelerated permitting procedures needed in order not to exceed two years between project submission and start up
- Grant digestate a product status, to simplify its use as a local organic fertiliser
- Increase capacity of distribution gas grids & optimise grid integration
- Guide national strategy development & facilitating collaboration
- Enhance cross border trade
- Valorise digestate and BioCO2“
