It has been a necessary part of the process with no value of its own. Auris Energia’s Business Manager Håkan Jonsson sees a new opportunity here.

Blog: The market for biogenic carbon dioxide is growing. How can the biogas sector respond?
When discussing the climate impacts of biogas, it is important to distinguish fossil carbon from biogenic carbon. The carbon dioxide generated during biogas production is biogenic: it comes from biomass that has absorbed carbon from the atmosphere as part of the natural carbon cycle. Biogenic origin alone does not establish the net climate impact of…
