Services Portfolio
BUSINESS SUPPORT
Market Research
Market analysis following: 1) Identification of target market, 2) analysis of external environment (PESTLE), 3) market overview (quantification, trends, competitive analysis) and 4) market attractiveness (Porter’s 5 forces).
Business Modelling and Planning
Development of innovative business models tailored to the participant’s needs and specificities (for the energy and the digestate), based on the Business Model Canvas methodology.
Corporate and Sustainable Finance
Assessment of the profitability of the potential investment made to implement/ improve a biogas system (IRR, ROI, NPV, CapEx, OpEx, etc.).
Access to finance support
Identification of European, regional and national financing opportunities to implement biogas technologies in livestock farming, with step-by-step directions on how to secure it.
Farmer to Farmer advice
Mentorship and knowledge exchange from farmers (who already have been incorporated biogas solutions on their premises) among livestock farmers who are interested in such an activity (supported cases).
TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Concept design and development of biogas systems
The conceptual design includes critical aspects of biogas production such as the determination of plant size and design as well as the selection of appropriate technological solutions.
Evaluation of biogas potential based on preliminary calculations
Selection of suitable mixtures of substrates that will provide high biogas yield through the implementation of preliminary calculations. Biogas yield should be taken into consideration as it is highly associated with biogas productivity
Consultancy on the implementation and monitoring of biogas solutions
Contribution to the monitoring of biogas plants and to the organization of efficient operations. Interaction with the collaborating farmers to eliminate potential concerns and obstacles
Energy and environmental analyses assessing the energy and carbon footprint across the life cycle
Evaluation of the environmental impacts stemming from biogas production through Life Cycle Analysis. LCA will contribute to the identification of the most environmentally damaging stages and investigate scenarios in terms of various critical parameters such as different feedstock types exploitation with respect to environmental aspects
Technical support for farmers in the evaluation and comparison of plant suppliers’ quotes
Support the choice of optimal technical solution for biogas and biomethane production in their farm.

Social acceptance
• Average rating for the production of biogas from manure: 65.75.
• Satisfaction with a biogas plant is higher at a larger geographic scale than in immediate vicinity.
• Compensation is required if a plant is built next to their home, with a 10% discount on electricity bill being the most accepted.
Support needs
Business support needs: access to finance support, administrative support, and business modelling and planning.
Technical support needs: consultancy on the implementation and monitoring of biogas solutions, and assessment of potential biogas solutions and energy and environmental analysis.
Favourable conditions & enablers
Important factors for promoting the uptake of biogas technologies: co-digestion and public financial support schemes for biogas injected to the grid.
Favourable conditions: market and financial conditions.
Less favourable conditions: social conditions.
Barriers
Technical barriers: lack of gas infrastructure, lack of technical training/knowledge and skilled workforce.
Economic barriers: high investment costs, price volatility of substrates and biogas, and high cost of production, transportation, clean-up, and upgrading.
Institutional barriers: complex administrative and legal procedures, lack of standardization in the authorization process, and uncertain policy landscape.
Socio-cultural barriers: resistance to change, low social acceptance, lack of consumer interest, and lack of information/awareness.
Environmental side-effects: odour and noise complaints, nitrogen pollution, and impact on food security.
Barriers for women to be engaged in the biogas sector: less appealing jobs, gender role stereotypes, and lack of women in decision-making positions.
