Abstract:
As it appears, economic analysis is the reason of why renewable energy plants are not so famous on the world market. However, biorefinery concept opens new doors for spreading it on world commercial production. As the motivation the previous studies were considered. They were about intensified and non-intensified (conventional) biogas production. It was concluded that the profit from electricity selling and residues is simply not enough. Thus, this work shows the different possibilities of multi-production in biogas plants. Eventually, these attempts must show the sustainability of each examined case. Except heat, electricity and resides, also, grid injection, algae production and natural fibre, would be evaluated. Also, the notation of “biorefinery” would be reviewed to narrow the spectrum. As generally, everything with two or more marketable products called “biorefinery”. Yet, conventional biogas plant is not biorefinery.
