According to estimates by energy experts, in highly developed countries it is about 15% per year. According to the results of the research, which are stated by British authors, if the straw of cereals, grown only in the area of the eastern part of the Midlands, were used to obtain biofuels, the amount of obtained energy would cover about 1.5% of British consumption. The aim is to produce new fuels on new technologies that offer significant potential in improving air quality and reducing gas emissions, all with the aim of protecting the environment and the impact on global climate change. The technology of obtaining biogas from biomass was performed in a biodigester, where the biomass was previously ground and inserted into a biodigester where fermentation and biogas production are performed. Since its inception Biogas Energy (company) has been involved in research into the possibilities of improving the supply of biomass for its needs in an environmentally, economically and energy sustainable way.
