Summary

Biogas recovery is a very important issue nowadays both for the greater and greater interest in renewable energy resources and for the increasing problem of greenhouse gas reduction into atmosphere. In Italy, thanks to the new incentives scheme on biomethane, an interesting application for biogas deals with the separation and liquefaction of methane in order to produce an alternative vehicle fuel (LBG). The choice of the liquefaction technology has a big impact on the economics of such projects. The purpose of this paper is to present the feasibility analysis of a small scale biomethane plant taking into account investment costs, achievable energy efficiency and incentives available on the Italian market. It was assessed that an incentive higher than 0.35 €·Nm-3 of biomethane is necessary in order to make the project feasible.
