    The document discusses the economics of anaerobic digestion. It notes that for commercial applications of full-scale anaerobic digesters, the economics of installation and operation are important. Key aspects that need consideration include capital costs, operating costs, income, types of feedstock used, and developing a financial model. A number of factors can influence the economic sensitivity of anaerobic digestion, such as feedstock costs, the value of digestate, electrical generation efficiency, and the values of electricity and heat produced. Spreadsheets are used to model these economic considerations.

    The economics of the installation and operation of full-
    scale anaerobic digesters are clearly very important for
    commercial applications.
    The aspects which need to be considered:-
    • Capital cost;
    • Operating cost;
    • Income;
    • Operating costs; and
    • Financial model

    Jyväskylä Summer School 2013


    Economic Sensitivity
    • Types of feedstock
    • Costs of feedstock or gate fee
    • Digestate value or cost
    • CHP electrical efficiency
    • CHP load factor
    • Heat use
    • Other energy use
    • Value of electricity (€.kWh-1)
    • Value of heat (€.kWh-1)
    • Other energy value
    • Capital cost
    • Operating cost.
