Biogas production in Hungary Hungary’s total biomass resource is estimated to be 350 - 360 million tonnes From this amount 105-110 million tonnes is primary biomass (deriving from vegetation) which is annually regenerated. In the present only 3% of this is utilised by the energy sector The renewable energy sources represent 4.9% (54.8 PJ) of Hungary’s primary energy consumption It is estimated that 65% of the renewable energy sources is used for heat generation, 33% for electric power production and the rest for the production for biofuels.

Biogas production in Hungary The political target in the Renewable Energy Action Plan (REAP) by 2020 is to increase the energy production from renewable resources to 13% (186,4 PJ) It is expected that by 2020 the potential biogas production to reach 34MW, which will be equal to 5% of the total renewable energy sources in the country Hungary potential for biogas is 9 billion m3 biogas from agricultural resources, animal by-products, sewage sludge and municipal organic waste
