Research objective

We developed a multi-criteria methodology to evaluate CO₂ point sources for biological methanation based on industry-specific technical conditions and regional social factors. The methodology was applied to wastewater treatment plants, biogas plants, bioethanol plants, biomethane plants, landfills, and cement plants in Germany. We also assessed the methane production potential of the considered point sources at the NUTS 3 level.
