Biogas Powerplant is a place where biogas is generated.

A '''biogas powerplant''' is a system where ] is used to generate electricity. The gas which is produced via ] is used to drive an ]. By-products of this process are steam and hot water. The hot water can be recycled in a combined heat and power cycle to increase the temperature of the digesters to optimal conditions.


The more complex and efficient a biogas plant the more expensive it will be for the locality. Biogas plants can be simplified to produce gas for villages in countries where organic wastes are available and funds are limited. Alternatively, in more developed countries pressure in the form of legislation and high energy costs is increasing the amount of projects generating renewable energy from waste.

Biogas plants can be found in countries such as ], ], ], ], ] and ].

Advanced processing systems can recover the organic fraction mixed waste streams. These systems are a subgroup of mechanical biological treatment plants. They sort the recyclable elements of the waste and process the organic fraction into a high surface area low solids soup which are then passed into a biogas power plant (anaerobic digester). Advanced systems like this can be found in Israel.<ref> Finstein, M. S., Zadik, Y., Marshall, A. T. & Brody, D.

Further energy can be produced by the combustion of the ] which may be classified as a ].
