ABOUT THE PROJECT EvEmBi
Methane emissions from biogas plants have received growing attention over the past years due to the development of improved monitoring methods for evaluation. However, the dynamic and fugitive nature of methane emissions, changing operating conditions, and different as well as not standardized measurement approaches compromise the precise quantification of the overall emissions from biogas facilities. Within the EvEmBi project various European biogas plant concepts were evaluated and analysed in terms of their methane emission factors using harmonized methods.
As part of the EvEmBi project, this session will focus on the latest measurement results and mitigation strategies developed in the EvEmBi project. This include the presentation and discussion of the evaluation of methane emissions from biogas plants, a model for the estimation of methane emissions from biogas plants as well as a cost-benefit analysis of specific mitigation measures.
