The impact of CO2-costs on biogas usage

Abstract: The Danish government has set a target of being fossil fuel independent by 2050 implying that a high degree of inflexible renewable energy will be included in the energy system; biogas can add flexibility and potentially has a negative CO2-emission. In this paper, we investigate the socio-economic system costs of reaching a Danish biogas target of 3.8 PJ in the energy system, and how CO2-costs affect the system costs and biogas usage.
