The paper focuses on the possibility to turn waste generated by farms into biogas, which can be used for electricity and heat generation, covering own use or even more. Three case studies, all based on experiments, are presented, the first two revealing data concerning the potential energy development from the waste, as energy carrier, the third, run on a very modern lab facility, demonstrating the high potential of the manure as renewable bio-energy source. All are based on anaerobic biogas production.
