Biogas generation systems’ production efficiencies are significantly affected by the temperature. While the heating for the digester can be through electricity (for which biogas itself is used as the feedstock), or through other heating systems such as boilers, solar thermal can also be considered as a source of heating, thus facilitating an even lower carbon footprint for the resulting biogas and RNG.
As solar energy is variable and is also not available throughout the day, use of solar can be combined with that of electricity or other fuels for continuous heating of the digester.
