biogas becomes more than climate neutral. In Sweden there are some 20 similar plants, producing biogas for use in cars and other vehicles. In order to make the biogas even more climate-friendly, the researchers propose that the plants should be heated using wood chips, which could also be cheaper for the biogas producer.
