Success factors

The main success factors to run a profitable biomass plant are:

• the qualification of the carrier
• offering of different substrates
• transport and logistics
• process management
• administrative decisions
• acceptance of the neighbourhood
• thermal utilisation
• sorting of residues
• cost effectiveness
• legal form of a company
• taxation

Before investing into a facility the following questions have to be answered:

• what arguments are there for a biogas plant?
• where can I find reference systems and are there best-practise examples?
• which additional skills I need to learn?
• are there government aids and what time limits have to be considered?
• do I have enough time for routine or control duties?
• which substrates can be employed in the process?
• is there a thermal utilisation of waste heat in the own factory?
• is the facility cost-effective, in long term too?
• which technology is convenient with my individual company?
• can I expand the biogas plant later on?
