Within the framework of a two-year study, which includes a one-year measurement campaign, operatingdata for a micro biogas plant will be collected. This simple type of plant is already used in numerousclimatically warmer regions of the world, but its operating data has hardly been described scientificallyso far, mainly due to a lack of measurement technology. Particularly for operation in Central Europe,there is a lack of a solid database, plant technology adapted to it and practical experience in operation.The construction and test operation of such a plant on the grounds of the Verein Synergy Village inFeldbach ZH will close this gap. A plant from the German industrial partner B Energy, which specialisesin the construction of such small-scale biogas plants in climatically more favourable regions, will beused for this purpose. For this reason, the existing plant will be equipped with adequate measurementtechnology and a heating and insulation system by the ZHAW and operated over 365 days under theSwiss climatic conditions of the Mittelland in collaboration with the Verein Synergy Village. Theknowledge gained will subsequently be used to assess the potential for small forms of housing in decentralisedlocations as well as for applications in the Alpine region. In addition to collecting operatingdata and gaining practical experience under Swiss climatic conditions, this project will also investigatethe clarification of legal licensing issues and economic aspects of such systems. The implementationof micro-biogas systems offers the possibility of addressing current energy and environmental problemsand represents a promising solution for society.
