- The topic of the Power Fields conference revolves around the most important issues related to the use of green energy in agriculture and food processing.
- Dr. Eng. Adam Świętochowski, Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Biosystems Engineering, Warsaw University of Life Sciences will tell us how to start and how to plan investments in biogas plants on farms and rural areas?
- Biogas plant – conditions, technological process, raw materials, digestate. The latest solutions. Which biogas plant and for whom?
- We invite you to register for the Farmer – Field of Power Conference, which will take place on June 20, 2024 in Gniew Castle (Pomeranian Voivodeship).
Despite clearly outlined goals, farmers encounter many obstacles on the way to low-emission, ranging from complex regulations, through local and systemic conditions related to, among others, from energy production and consumption, through the implementation of the biogas plant investment process, and ending with energy production.
Despite the introduction of a number of facilities accelerating the green transformation of agriculture and rural areas, many "surprises" await future investors. What to watch out for, what should be done, and above all: what type of renewable energy should you choose?

Power Fields: Does on-ground photovoltaics degrade agricultural land?
Dr. Eng. Adam Świętochowski, Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Biosystems Engineering, Warsaw University of Life Sciences will answer where to start and how to plan investments in biogas plants on farms and rural areas.
Investing in agricultural biogas plants is not profitable for every farmer
Investing in an agricultural biogas plant is not a good and profitable solution for every farm. Why?
The starting point determining the profitability of investing in an agricultural biogas plant is the availability of a substrate base. If a farm is able to produce its own substrate to meet the year-round demand necessary for the operation of a biogas plant, we are already halfway successful – emphasizes Dr. Eng. Adam Świętochowski, Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Biosystems Engineering at SGGW.

How quickly will the investment in an agricultural biogas plant pay off?
An expert from WULS-SGGW indicates that another element that determines the possibility of implementing a biogas plant on a farm are investment costs. And at this point one very important thing should be noted. The unit cost of building a small biogas plant will always be higher than in the case of large biogas plants.
Therefore, farmers will also need additional support to implement such an expensive renewable energy investment. For this purpose, government programs are launched, such as Energy for the countryside or Agroenergy, thanks to which they can obtain additional funding or a preferential loan for the implementation of this type of investment. Farmers can usually expect a government return on investment costs in biogas plants of 50-60%, thanks to which the payback period is shortened from a dozen to approximately 6 – 8 years – sums up Dr. Eng. Adam Świętochowski, Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Biosystems Engineering at SGGW.
