Mapping of biogas methanation potential in Denmark - Based on existing biogas sources

This report estimates the potential for biogas methanation plants based on a spatial analysis of the existing biogas producers. The analysis evaluates distances to electricity and gas infrastructure, as well as local wind potentials. Furthermore, each location is evaluated in terms of existing gas injection, distance to district heating and to CNG stations.
The results show that the total theoretical production potential of e-methane from biogas is around 6,666 GWh/year. From this potential around half of the locations are suitable for biogas methanation. The report also shows that this conclusion, is highly sensitive to the criteria used, if longer distances to gas and electricity networks is allowed, then the share increases.
