The project is a nine-month pre-study aimed at providing answers on how best to handle food waste and manure from agriculture in Värmland. By investigating the conditions for biogas production, the possibility of environmentally sustainable disposal of residual waste from mass caterers and agriculture is investigated. Many believe that the production of biogas in Sweden is crucial to achieving the national climate and environmental objectives. Biogas can be used for the production of vehicle fuel and is thus an integral part of the circular economy. Preliminary calculations show a potential for producing about 23 GWh of biogas annually from manure only from Värmland (in 2018 about 2 TWh of biogas was produced in Sweden). The project is multi-sectoral and includes a number of sectors (e.g. agriculture, transport, energy, restaurant, public meal service) and requires collaboration between the private and public sectors. In the long term, a biogas plant in Värmland is expected to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases caused by agriculture, such as methane, carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, and to make nitrogen present in manure more accessible for growing crops. The plant is expected as a side effect to create new industrial companies in Värmland and generate more green jobs that contribute to a circular economy and increased resource efficiency.
