Success factors for Biogas in Germany
The German BioEnergy Association BBE is the
umbrella association of the German bioenergy
market and was founded in 1998 to bundle the
different sectors and initiatives of the bioenergy
market to speak with one voice.
Actually there are approx. 25 specialised
associations, 8 R&D institutes and 110 companies
member in BBE.

CrossBorder Bioenergy:
Success factors for Biogas in Germany
• Planning security: EEG obligates electricity grid operators to purchase
RES electricity, to integrate RES with priority into the e-grid and to pay
a minimum remuneration rates for it for a 20-year period
• The remuneration fees for newly installed power plants are lowered by
1% each year to foster technology development and cost degression
• Technology differentiated support for all RES enables early development of
future RES technologies (learning curves, economies of scale etc.)
• EEG remuneration is allocated to all consumers (~4 EUR/month), hence
“polluter pays” principle fulfilled while acceptance grows due to low costs
• EEG is evaluated and amended regularly to react to market developments

Different concepts of biogas = different success factors and risks
The right project design
Mean Characteristics:
< 50 kWel, owned by farmer, on-site of the farm, integrated into farm processes, financed
with equity capital and credits, creditworthiness of farmer decisive for bank credit, farm
property as guarantee, farmer acts as operator and feedstock supplier, limited possibilities
for efficient heat use
Mean Characteristics:
Ø 350 kWel, approx. 1 Mio. € investment costs = usually too expensive for single farmer,
owned and operated by project consortium (farmers, municipalities, waste disposer, plant
manufacturers etc.), therewith more equity capital available, risk sharing by project
financing, cash-flow decisive for financing (not credtiworthiness of farmer)
Mean Characteristics:
< 50 kWel, owned by farmer, on-site of the farm, integrated into farm processes, financed
with equity capital and credits, creditworthiness of farmer decisive for bank credit, farm
property as guarantee, farmer acts as operator and feedstock supplier, limited possibilities
for efficient heat use
Large scale biogas (parks)
Mean Characteristics:
1-2 MWel, or several units (e.g. biogas park “Klarsee” = 40 units á 500 kWel = 20 MWel), high
feedstock / farm land demand (Klarsee: 8.000 ha), feedstock with high energy content to
lower transport costs and environmental impacts, farmer acts as feedstock supplier, owned
and operated by industrial companies, financed by investment funds
Mean Characteristics:
< 50 kWel, owned by farmer, on-site of the farm, integrated into farm processes, financed
with equity capital and credits, creditworthiness of farmer decisive for bank credit, farm
property as guarantee, farmer acts as operator and feedstock supplier, limited possibilities
for efficient heat use

CrossBorder Bioenergy:
Success factors for Biogas in Germany
• An increasing size of a biogas plant is linked with a shift of the
organisational structure (e.g. concerning risks, benefits, financing, etc.),
therewith also of the success factors.
• Biogas project have to be customized to day-to-day business of operator.
The relation of plant size and organisation structure

+ efficiency, + profit, - costs/kWh, etc.

Success factors in relation to project phase
Planning
The right project design
• Experienced planning office involved due to complexity of a biogas plant?
• Sufficient space available for pits, digestion unit, CHP-module, storage?
• Sufficient capacity to store manure and residues for at least 6 months?
• Infrastructure existing to deliver co-substrates by truck at all seasons?
• Residents integrated to avoid opposition (traffic, odour, prejudices)?
• Enough time calculated for licensing procedures?
• Assurances effected, e.g. for fire, installations, losses due to stillstand…?
• Early information and involvement of grid operator?

ConstructionPlanning
The right project design
• Quality of chosen components, suitable for planned purpose?
• Technology provider experienced with concept (technology, size, feedstock)?
• Sound relation between digestion volume and CHP capacity (efficiency)?
• Size of biogas plant in line with business structure on-site?
• Time of operation at full-load optimized (e.g. 6.000 h/a)? Margin of safety?

Start-upConstructionPlanning
The right project design
• Know-how of operator given (biology, sensibility, maintenance, etc.)?
• Working time factored-in (feedstock management, administration, control)?
10h/week or 1/3 manpower necessary to operate a biogas plant
• Longtime feedstock supply secured (no changes in stock farming, growing
of energy crops, quality, amount and price of feedstock etc.)
• Sale of electricity and heat secured?
• Disposal of residues guaranteed (farm land, contracts, time exposure etc.)
