DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/gz6r35/biogas_2012) has announced the addition of the "BIOGAS 2012 - Agricultural Biogas Market in Poland" report to their offering.
Currently there are 196 biogas plants in Poland with total installed electric capacity of about 130 MW; 91 of them are plants located near waste stockpiles, and 75 are located near sewage works.
The remaining 30 facilities are agricultural biogas plants with total electric capacity of 33,4 MW.
The analysis of the existing biogas plants in Poland indicates that the majority of them function in the direct vicinity of large animal farms or industrial plants, that is, close to the source of substrates. Such solution significantly simplifies substrate supply logistics, as well as minimizes transport costs. The average installed electric capacity of the existing agricultural biogas plants is 1,1 MWe. Only two plants have the installed capacity of less than 0,5 MW (in Niedoradz and Kujanki), which results from the fact that currently construction of biogas plants with higher installed capacity is more profitable, under condition that, of course, there is sufficient amount of substrates available in a given location. Optimal electric capacity of a biogas plant is 0,5 - 1,6 MWe - projects with such capacity are most effective financially and logistically (substrate supply and digestate utilization).
This situation will probably change to the advantage of smaller biogas plants after the Renewable Energy Sources Act (which will make the support conditional on the facility's capacity) takes effect. Agricultural biogas plants in Poland have high development potential, which is stressed in, among other things, National Action Plan concerning energy from renewable sources. The document introduces a way in which Poland could attain the domestic target of market share for energy from renewable sources (15,5% until 2020 in general and 19% in energy market). According to the NAP in 2020 Polish biogas plants will have reached 980 MW of total installed electric capacity.
BIOGAS 2012 report presents data on existing investments, projects under realization and planned investments in agricultural biogas plants as well as conclusions related to the analysis of the data. Bio Alians Doradztwo Inwestycyjne has been constantly monitoring the market of agricultural biogas plants in Poland since as early as 2010. Thanks to the authors' experience in the development business the report presents the look at the biogas market in Poland from different angles.
