Abstract
The need for investment in renewable energy sources stems from the challenges facing the world as a whole in terms of the need to reduce human impact on the climate and the environment. One source that at the same time allows for stable production regardless of weather conditions is biogas. Thanks to its properties, biogas can be used in various sectors, such as energy, transport or agriculture. The wide range of applications and the possibility of ensuring a constant supply of biogas (and biomethane) opens up a number of development opportunities for regional and national economies, as well as local communities. Poland has a huge potential to produce biogas from agricultural raw materials, and by also using the potential resting in biodegradable waste and sewage sludge, it can significantly modify its energy mix and improve its energy security. Norway, on the other hand, has a huge potential for biogas production from bio-waste, including that from food processing. The catalogue presents examples of investments from Poland, Norway and other European countries, where biogas production from various substrates has been carried out successfully for many years. We would like these examples to be an inspiration for the development of the biogas and renewable energy market in Poland and Norway.
