Objectives | Undertake a study into the potential sources and quantities of biogas that could be produced from anaerobic digestion processes in the NGN distribution area. The study will focus on areas of potential within appropriate sectors of agriculture, council collected waste food, commercial, industrial and the wastewater industry. The study will identify targets within the NGN distribution area that could be approached to explore collaboration opportunities to develop projects for biogas production and biomethane to grid injection (BtG). A report highlighting specific locations and identifying potential partners to work with NGN to develop AD production and supply Bio-Methane to Grid. Provide a guide on future potential areas for development of Biomethane to Grid Produce a roadmap for future feasible projects at specific location within NGN Network Identify specific sectors for potential collaboration opportunities to develop B2G projects Provide quantification of the potentially available feedstock volumes that are suitable for AD processing in the NGN area An assessment will be provided that identifies the geographical areas that present the highest potential to process available feedstock | |
Abstract | The take up of possible biomethane to grid by various sectors has been particularly slow due to the uncertainty about volumes from each sector, the availability of a roadmap to access the network and suitable injection locations. Quantification of the potentially available feedstock volumes that are suitable for AD (anaerobic digestion) processing in the NGN area is not fully understood. No research, modeling and report exist by postcode area that matches the availability of feedstock by sector with easy access points to NGN’s Network. To undertake a detailed study that will identify targets, within the NGN distribution area, which could be approached to explore collaboration opportunities to develop projects for biogas production and biomethane to grid injection.Note : Project Documents may be available via the ENA Smarter Networks Portal using the Website link above | |
