Biogas at Home: A Renewable No-Brainer
Warren Weisman
November 21, 2014
Germany is the leading producer of biogas in the developed world, with
8,700 biogas plants with 3,400 MW of installed electric generation
capacity. The United States lags far behind with less than 450 plants
with 175 MW of capacity. Sweden has an even smaller number of plants,
less than 200, but the most per capita and most prominent national
biogas program. Most Swedish cities fuel their transit bus fleets with
locally generated biogas and the country is home to the world’s first
biogas powered commuter train operating between Linkoping and Vastervik.
But if we were to do what has never been done before and include
individual household and farm scale biogas plants that are not
grid-tied, China easily eclipses the rest of the world combined.
