On July 9 the technology centre Ainia, Member of the Spanish Federation of technological centres, Fedit, presents the Probiogas macro, co-funded by the Ministry of science and technology in its 'Unique projects and strategic' program. This project has as main objective research and demonstrate the benefits of biogas production agro-industrial in our country, source of renewable energy, whose development is still emerging in our country. One of the first results of the project are the maps of potential for biogas production, which will make it possible to know the Spanish communities with more potential for exploitation.
The biogas is obtained through a technology called "anaerobic co-digestión" that allows to take advantage of waste organic materials from various agricultural activities, such as for example: by-products of fruits and vegetables, meat or fish, the cattle manure (manure and slurry) waste, sludge from sewage treatment plants of industries food, etc.
Therefore, to develop the maps it has been estimated first location and potential amount of these raw materials, and subsequently determined in experimental pilot digesters the amount of biogas to be gained from each one of them.
