How can catch crops contribute to increased biogas production while also delivering environmental benefits within agricultural cropping systems? This was one of the key questions explored as we began our study tour to Denmark with a visit to Lykkeslund, north of Odense. Here, farmers, biogas producers and advisors from Sweden and Denmark gained insights into…
Grass can both reduce nitrogen leaching and provide biomass for biogas production. But how can the right balance be found between environmental considerations, yields and economic viability? Aarhus University is exploring this through trials in Living Lab Central Jutland. A new Field Note provides insights into the trials and the questions researchers are working to…
Accel AgroBiogas brings together research, industry and public authorities to develop the sustainable biogas solutions of the future. Here, Aarhus University provides insight into its role in the project. What is your role in the project? One of AU’s core roles in the project is to investigate and document how larger quantities of plant biomass…
How can agricultural biomass such as grass, catch crops and crop residues contribute to increased and more sustainable biogas production, and what changes are needed to unlock this potential? These questions were in focus when Accel AgroBiogas invited public authorities, industry representatives, researchers and farmers to a joint dialogue. A farmer-led initiative shows the way…
The Swedish Energy Agency has published new guidance on sustainability criteria and installation approval: ER 2026:15 Guidance on sustainability criteria and installation approval – revised based on REDIII. For the biogas value chain, the guidance includes an important clarification regarding grassland as a feedstock for biogas. The guidance states that grassland can be classified differently…
Three County Governors in Västra Götaland, Skåne and Halland are urging the Swedish Government to create better long-term conditions for biogas. In a joint letter, they highlight the importance of biogas for the green transition of industry, strengthened energy preparedness and reduced dependence on imported fossil gas. The letter is signed by Sten Tolgfors, County…
When the project partners gathered in Halland for a partner meeting, the focus was on collaboration within the project. It is clear that the project has entered an implementation phase. Several deliverables are already in place, while others are well underway, and during the meeting it became evident how much we have actually built together…
A recently published article in Lantbrukets Affärer highlights new research showing how cover crops can play a key role in the sustainable use of agricultural biomass – with significant implications for future biogas production. The article is based on research from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), where Thomas Prade, Associate Professor at the…
How can crop production contribute more directly to biogas production – while at the same time supporting climate and environmental goals? This question came up repeatedly when farmers, advisors and biogas producers met at Plantekongressen 2026 in Herning and Fjordland Congress 2026 in Skive. At both Plantekongressen and Fjordland Congress, there was strong interest in…
In January, Accel AgroBiogas will participate in the Plant Congress 2026 in Herning and the Fjordland Congress in Skive to share knowledge and experience on how biogas production can be accelerated in a sustainable way. Through the project, focused efforts are being made to strengthen the framework conditions for increased biogas production based on agricultural…
Biogas Denmark brought together a record number of participants at this year’s conference, where biogas was once again highlighted as a central part of the future energy system. Chairman Søren Pind welcomed the participants and pointed out that biogas must be seen in close interaction with solar and wind power to ensure balance in the…
A new scientific advisory report from Aarhus University brings valuable insights to the Accel AgroBiogas partnership’s ongoing work on sustainable use of cover crop biomass for biogas production. The report was commissioned by the Danish Ministry for the Green Tripartite (MGTP) following recommendation in the Danish National Bioeconomy Panel, an advisory body that supports government…
