A Circular Vision on the Potential Of Biomass from Non Usable Soils to Produce Biomethane in Portugal

Short Introductive summary

The goal of this work was to map the non usable soils, in continental Portugal, for the production of biomass to biomethane, and an assessment was made to estimate the biomasss production potential. With those data, a techno-economic analysis was performed of the biogas/biomethane production using the biomass harvested from the non usable soils. A SWOT analysis was conducted in the end to evaluate the production of biomass from non-usable soils followed by its application in the production of biogas/biomethane.
