According to a new study by Bangor University, the University of Limerick and Feedback Global, published in the Journal of Cleaner Production, biogas use should be carefully constrained to prioritize more effective climate solutions such as waste prevention, solar electricity generation and afforestation in order to meet the challenging “net zero” greenhouse gas (GHG) emission target set for 2050.
Dr. Prysor Williams, senior lecturer in environmental management at Bangor University and co-author on the study, noted: “Previous studies have benchmarked the environmental performance of anaerobic digestion against current dominant technologies.
