In Germany alone, more than 6,000 biogas plants generate electricity, heat and steam, and for several years they have also produced fuel. Biogas is a particularly versatile renewable energy source. Its potential is just being discovered in Germany. Residual material – organic waste from the food industry, slurry and dung from agriculture or biological waste and sewage sludge from cities and municipalities – as well as energy crops such as maize, grass, cereals, sugar beet and lots of other renewable substrates can be used in a biogas plant.

A CHP (Combined Heat and Power) station is a combination of a combustion engine, a generator and a cooling and control system. It may use an engine with spark ignition for the combustion of gases (natural gas, liquid petroleum gas, biogas etc.) or a diesel engine for the combustion of liquid fuels (diesel oil, heating oil, vegetable oil, fats etc.). It produces both electricity and heat.
