This study was conducted to examine and analyse the cost of producing 1 kg of milk between the Netherlands and Kenya. Whereas farmers work to better their profitability, they are faced with challenges in balancing their resources used in farm production and the end result of production. Due to this, …

The production of biogas through anaerobic digestion is one of the technological solutions to convert biomass into a readily usable fuel. Biogas can replace natural gas, if the biogas is upgraded to green gas. To contribute to the EU-target to reduce Green House Gases emissions, the installed biogas …

Designing a green gas supply to meet a regional seasonal demand: a case study.One of the issues concerning the replacement of natural gas by green gas is the seasonal pattern of the gas demand. When constant production is assumed, this may limit the injected quantity of green gas into a gas grid to the …

Organic wastes like cooking-waste, farm-waste and manure have detrimental effect on the environment, health and hygiene of people. Within India there are possibilities to manage the available biomass in an efficient way, which can bring environmental, health and economic benefits. Through anaerobic digestion, …

Spational modeling of a sustainable gas supply chain by matching supply and demand Biogas production from co-digestion of cattle manure and biomass can have a significant contribution to a sustainable gas supply when this gas is upgraded to specifications prescribed for injection into the national gas …
