Comment by Sara Bartle @rea : Again, I agree it’s a matter for economies of scale and this may be a reason why smaller plants have been less incentivised to participate with the more recent support schemes. Although most will state that the additional costs for connecting to a grid and significantly upgrading from biogas to biomethane are barriers. There is a good argument for encouraging smaller plants where they can manage a more local feedstock and digestate management. They can also produce biogas or transport fuels rather than having to commit to grid connections and/or biomethane upgrading costs. However, these plants may struggle with the initial investment costs unless otherwise supported.
