Government adopts a bill on agricultural biogas plants

The Polish government has adopted a draft law aimed at facilitating the development of agricultural biogas plants, according to the Government Information Center. The law aims to support closed-loop agriculture and the food processing industry by streamlining the investment process and allowing easier use of local substrates. The law also sets a maximum capacity of 3.5 MW for installed electric power, or 10.5 MW of thermal power, or annual production of biogas not exceeding 14 million m3 or biogas-derived biomethane not exceeding 8.4 million m3.

The law includes provisions to facilitate the investment process, to enable the use of locally available substrates, and to allow for the use and sale of post-fermentation products without the need for administrative approval. The government believes the development of agricultural biogas plants could stimulate the growth of local suppliers and sub-suppliers.
