| Abstract | The intensive development of sewerage networks and municipal wastewater treatment plants observed in Poland in recent years has led to the generation of large quantities of municipal sewage sludge. At present, only nearly 140 out of about 2,500 wastewater treatment plants have full sludge digestion facilities. This means that only 6% of wastewater treatment plants operating in Poland produce biogas that can be used for energy purposes. The total volume of digesters at all wastewater treatment plants is estimated at 800,000-900,000 m(3). The aim of this paper is to analyse the energy potential of biogas generated in the processes of methane fermentation of sewage sludge in the context of the EU energy and climate policy while strengthening national energy security. Thus the following research questions have been formulated: To what extent can biogas support the implementation of the EU energy and climate policy in Poland? What are the barriers to biogas development from sewage sludge digestion in Poland? The research hypothesis was defined that the production of biogas from sewage fermentation will contribute to increasing the energy security of the country by diversifying the natural gas production structure and increasing the stability of the energy system. |
