It was far from small money that the government recently presented plans to spend on building a new gas pipeline to Lolland. The price to run the pipeline will be just under 800 million DKK, and it is scheduled to be completed in 2024. But the price could be much higher, writes Ingeniøren.
Biogas is expected to replace natural gas in the pipes by 2040. In this connection, the establishment of two biogas plants has often been mentioned as an integral part of the project. But these projects will not come to fruition unless they are subsidized, says CEO Ole Hvelplund at Nature Energy.
Nature Energy has the two biogas projects on the drawing board on Lolland and Falster. The plants are expected to be able to produce up to 30 million normal cubic meters of upgraded biogas per year. With the current subsidy rates for upgraded biogas, the two plants will require 294 million DKK per year in support, according to a calculation made by Ingeniøren. Over a typical support period of 20 years, this will result in a bill of 5.88 billion DKK in subsidies, if the gas price is the same as it is now.
