Key Considerations When Conducting A Feasibility Study for Commercial Biogas Projects
- What is feasibility studies?
This is preliminary study undertaken in order to determine the success
- f the biogas project. Is the analysis of the viability of the project idea
and answers the question of whether one should proceed with the proposed idea. Pre-feasibility Study. May be conducted to help sort out preliminary information and
- alternatives. This saves more money by doing less evaluations during
the comprehensive and costly FS.

Key Consideration in FS
- 1. Types and quantities of substrates available.
- 2. The amount of gas (biomethane) that can be produced.
- 3. Type of energy required and the quantities (Electrical/ Thermal).
- 4. Is the energy for own use or commercial.
- 5. Any pre-treatment required for feedstock.
- 6. Capacity/type of the digestor/equipment required and cost.
- 7. The volumes of bio-slurry and it handling.
- 8. Cleaning of the methane gas.
- 7. Existing policies, regulations and laws.
