The concept itself (i.e. taking organics, digesting them and producing gas) is easy enough and most people understand it, even from outside the industry. What is not easily understood is the ‘uniqueness’ of each project, and how even when you do have the feedstock, a project might not be economically feasible.

As an example, I have seen 3,000 dairy cow projects in the past that were rejected, because the pipeline was so far away that transporting the gas (or building a pipeline) made the project not attractive to investors.

That is what gives complexity to biogas. That it’s not only about turning your waste to gas. That is has to also make sense financially for investors, that it depends on a market that needs incentives and needs specific conditions for a successful project. However, this is still a waste solution. If treating waste regulations become more strict, the waste owners (farmers, WWTPs) will need to have biogas systems to meet regulations.
