2. Biogas production in Hungary
Hungary’s total biomass resource is estimated to be million tonnes
From this amount 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.

3. 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

7. Biogas production in Hungary-Financial
Depending on the input sources and the bio fertilizer utilisation possibilities in average the biogas plant cost can be 1,1–1,2 billion Ft/MW
The average investment costs for a biogas plant per 1kW may be from million Ft.
The average electricity cost is 26 Ft/kWh, which istaken in the grid at a price of 30 Ft/kWh in the frame of the Mandatory Take-off Scheme (kötelezőátvételi tarifa rendszer, KÁT)
