The purpose of this article is to determine and assess
Life Cycle Costs of biogas
and fertilizer produced in
anaerobic digestion of biomass. Genera
l Cost Breakdown Structure for anaero
bic digestion plant is described for
better understanding of the system. Main cost categories
discussed in this study are: Investments; Design,
construction and dismantling costs; Maintenance, Operation
and Transportation costs.
Results showed that Design,
construction and dismantling costs have the biggest share in
Total Life Cycle Cost (TLCC) per cubic meter of biogas.
This category also has the biggest influence on TLCC of
fertilizer. Investment costs are the second most significant
cost category.
Keywords
algae co-digestion, anaerobic digestion, Life Cycle Costing
