Biogas is growing in popularity, with ‘3 out of 4 [US] voters supporting increasing government investment in U.S. biogas production’, as per a recent poll by the American Biogas Council. The reason it is not as popular as solar or wind is because it cannot, by nature, be ‘implemented everywhere’. You need to have enough feedstock available (i.e. manure, wastewater, agricultural waste) to make a project viable, whereas solar you can put on your own roof. However, with electricity prices falling drastically and (most) other renewables producing electricity, biogas to RNG projects provide a fuel that can be stored, transported, liquified etc, and is not intermittent, like electricity.

Finally, consider biogas projects as a ‘waste solution’, not as ‘energy production’ projects. Other renewables do not solve a problem besides producing energy. Biogas projects do. They offer much more than just the energy production. They offer waste management, emissions avoidance, landfill gas management etc.
