In the UK and Scotland, anaerobic digestion is driven by the Green Gas Support Scheme, which provides financial incentives for each kWh of gas injected into the grid, making projects economically viable. Among the main risks, it is crucial to consider plant location, timelines for planning and permitting, and compliance with environmental regulations. Could the UK model serve as an example for the biogas sector in Ireland? A key lesson might be the need to design the plant based on the available feedstock—ignoring this can seriously affect gas production efficiency.
