Decentralized Biogas Production Model Proposed by UPM Researchers
A decentralized biogas production model has been proposed by researchers from the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, aiming to mitigate methane emissions from intensive livestock farming. This model allows multiple farms to produce biogas for conversion into biomethane, which can be used as vehicle fuel or injected into gas networks.

Researchers at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM), along with other institutions, have developed a decentralized method for biogas production. The model involves generating biogas at various farms and transporting it to a central facility for processing into biomethane, targeting a total production of 11,780 MWh/year from 48 farms.
The initial investment is estimated at 7.65 million EUR, with annual operational costs of 1.095 million EUR. The study also highlights the need for communication plans among stakeholders, including farms, investors, and potential biomethane consumers. The proposed system aligns with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in affordable and clean energy (SDG 7) and responsible consumption and production (SDG 12).
