Abstract
The first biogas plants in Denmark based on animal manure were built in the 1979s. They were single-farm plants, and since then 40 more of this type have been built. Three quarters of these were shut down after only a short period of operation, usually because of technical problems. The first large-scale centralized plants were constructed in the early 1980s, partly as a reaction to the dissappointment related to farm-plant shutdown. Later, more stringent legislation regarding manure storage and treatment was introduced and this further increased the farmers interest in centralized plants which included storage capacity. During October 1992, there were currently 10 centralized biogas plants and 10 single-farm plants in operation in the country. The report discusses the development and status of the centralized biogas plants and also deals with the first Danish plant for treating household wastes. Centralized biogas plants give considerable environmental advantages but their financial viability is open to discussion. The Danish governmental 1988-1991 Action Programme for Centralized Biogas Plants and the various demonstration plants used under this programme are described in detail, here data illustrate the text. Results are presented and the follow-up programme, including related barriers and prospects, are described. (AB).
