Both global food and energy systems are increasingly faced with major challenges regarding food security and non-fossil energy provision, respectively. Organic or low-input agriculture as well as bioenergy production may contribute to securing rising food and energy needs. However, low-input agricultural systems are challenged for their lower productivity compared to high-input systems. Moreover, bioenergy systems are often criticized for their unsustainable high-input cropping systems. Consequently, innovative approaches are needed to optimize both sectors. A promising strategy may be the integration of organic or low-input agricultural systems with agricultural bioenergy production with the objective to increase both productivity and sustainability of land use systems. This dissertation examines the opportunities and risks of integrated bioenergy production in organic and low-input agricultural systems, based on the example of two bioenergy technologies, anaerobic digestion (AD) and integrated generation of solid fuel and biogas from biomass (IFBB), by assessment of their structural framework conditions, systematic implications, as well as economic and risk performance. In a final step, the role of integrated agricultural bioenergy production within the context of the so-called sustainable intensification is debated.

Production and utilization of sustainable energy toward maintaining a clean environment is a major challenge. At the same time, the continued depletion of fossil fuels and the global dependency on non-renewable fuels is a chief concern. Moreover, the long-term economic and environmental issues associated with the high utilization of fossil fuel, such as global warming, are also important, particularly in the context of the predicted increase in the global population to around 5 billion by 2050. In recent years, researchers have been investigating alternative, renewable fuels to replace fossil fuels. Of the various options, biofuels are especially attractive due to their low production costs and the fact that they are pollution free. Also known as transportation fuels, their energy is derived from biological resources or through the biological processes. Biofuels such as biohydrogen, biomethane, biogas, ethanol and butanol offer a number of advantages and can be economically produced from cellulosic biomass. As such, they can play a vital role in sustainably meeting future energy demands. Biofuels have the potential to become a global primary energy source, offering significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions as well as opportunities to increase economic and social development in rural communities and reduce the problems associated with waste disposal. However, low yields and lack of process technology are some of the aspects that need to be addressed. This book offers an overview of existing biofuels and the technologies to solve the problems associated with their practical implementation. Evaluating the biofuel options and discussing the opportunities and risks in relation to resources, technologies, practices, markets and policy, it provides insights into the development of economically viable bioenergy industries.

Interest in anaerobic digestion (AD), the process of energy production through the production of biogas, has increased rapidly in recent years. Agricultural and other organic waste are important substrates that can be treated by AD. This book is one of the first to provide a broad introduction to anaerobic digestion and its potential to turn agricultural crops or crop residues, animal and other organic waste, into biomethane. The substrates used can include any non-woody materials, including grass and maize silage, seaweeds, municipal and industrial wastes. These are all systematically reviewed in terms of their suitability from a biological, technical and economic perspective. In the past the technical competence and high capital investment required for industrial-scale anaerobic digesters has limited their uptake, but the authors show that recent advances have made smaller-scale systems more viable through a greater understanding of optimising bacterial metabolism and productivity. Broader issues such as life cycle assessment and energy policies to promote AD are also discussed.

Biogas has the potential to be part of the transition towards a more sustainable energy system. Biogas is a renewable energy source and can play an important role in modern waste management systems. Biogas production can also help recirculate nutrients back to farmland. Besides all this, biogas is a locally produced energy source with the potential to increase global resource efficiency, since it can lead to more value and less waste, as well as decreased negative environmental effects. However, biogas production systems are complex, including different substrates, different applications for biogas and digestate, and different technology solutions for digestion, pre-treatment and for upgrading the raw gas. To increase the development of biogas production systems, knowledge sharing is a key factor. To increase this knowledge sharing, comprehensible analysis and comparisons of biogas production systems are necessary. Thus, studies are needed to verify the resource efficiency of biogas production systems from different perspectives. The aim of this thesis is to perform a systems analysis of biogas production systems and to explore how to analyse and compare biogas production systems. An additional aim is to study biogas production systems from a systems perspective, with a focus on environment, energy and economy. Studying biogas production systems from different system levels, as well as from different approaches, is beneficial because it results in deeper knowledge of biogas systems and greater opportunities to identify synergies. Systems studies of biogas are important, since biogas systems are often complex and integrated with other systems. In this thesis, biogas systems analyses are performed at different levels. In the widest system study, classifications of different biogas plants are analysed and classifications in different European countries are compared, with the prospect of paving the way for a new common classification for biogas plants in Europe. Today, classifications vary between countries, and hence comparisons of plants in different countries are difficult. In the narrowest system study, a new methodology for analysing energy demand at different biogas production plants has been developed. The aim was to develop a methodology that is applicable for all kinds of biogas plants with energy inputs. The methodology describes the process of analysing energy demand and allocating energy to sub-processes and unit processes. Further, an approach for assessing the resource efficiency of different treatment options for organic waste was designed. The approach includes environmental, economic and energy perspectives, and was applied to five different regions with several food manufacturing companies. A study of treatment options for organic waste from a single food company was also conducted. The results showed that biogas production is a resource-efficient way to treat waste from the food industry. The approach enables a wider analysis of biogas systems, and the results from the applications show the complexity of assessing resource efficiency. It is also shown that it is important to understand that the resource efficiency of a system is always in relation to the substituted system. In this thesis, three different approaches to analysing biogas production systems are presented: categorization, resource efficiency analysis and energy demand analysis. These approaches all contribute to the understanding of biogas systems and can help, in different ways, to increase knowledge about biogas systems in the world. If knowledge about different biogas systems can be easily disseminated, more of the unused potential of biogas production may be realized, and hence more fossil fuels can be replaced within the energy system. Biogas har potentialen att vara en del av övergången till ett mer hållbart energisystem. Biogas är en förnybar energikälla som kan spela en viktig roll i moderna avfallshanteringssystem. Produktion av biogas kan även hjälpa till att återcirkulera näringsämnen tillbaka till jordbruksmark. Förutom allt detta är biogas en lokalt producerad energikälla med potential att öka resurseffektiviteten i världen, eftersom det kan leda till ökat värde och mindre avfall samt minskade negativa miljöeffekter. Dock är biogasproduktionssystem komplexa, inklusive exempelvis olika substrat, användning för biogasen och rötresterna, olika tekniska lösningar för rötresterna såväl som förbehandling av substrat och uppgradering av rågas. För att öka utvecklingen av biogasproduktionssystem är kunskapsdelning en nyckelfaktor. För att öka kunskapsdelningen är tydliga analyser och jämförelser av biogasproduktionssystem nödvändiga. Därför behövs studier för att verifiera resurseffektiviteten för biogasproduktionssystem från olika perspektiv. Syftet med denna avhandling är att utföra systemanalyser av biogasproduktionssystem och att undersöka hur man analyserar och jämför biogasproduktionssystem. Vidare är syftet också att studera biogasproduktionssystem ur ett systemperspektiv med fokus på miljö, energi och ekonomi. Det är fördelaktigt att studera biogasproduktionssystem på olika systemnivåer och utifrån olika tillvägagångssätt, eftersom kunskapen om biogassystem fördjupas och möjligheterna att hitta synergier ökar. Systemstudier av biogas är viktigt eftersom biogassystem ofta är komplexa och integrerade i andra system. I denna avhandling utförs analyser på olika nivåer av biogassystemen. På den högsta systemnivån analyseras klassificeringar av olika biogasanläggningar. Klassificeringar i olika europeiska länder jämförs, med förhoppningen att bana väg mot en ny, gemensam klassificering för biogasanläggningar i Europa. Idag varierar klassificeringarna mellan länder och därför är jämförelser av anläggningar mellan länder svåra. På den lägsta systemnivån utvecklades en ny metod för analys av energibehov vid olika biogasproduktionsanläggningar. Syftet var att utveckla en metod för alla typer av biogasanläggningar. Metodiken beskriver processen för att analysera energibehov och fördela energin till delprocesser och enhetsprocesser. Vidare utformades en metod för att bedöma resurseffektiviteten hos olika behandlingsalternativ för organiskt avfall. Metoden inkluderar miljö, ekonomi och energi och tillämpades i fem olika regioner med flera livsmedelsindustriföretag. En studie av behandlingsalternativ för organiskt avfall från ett enda livsmedelsföretag genomfördes också. Resultaten visade att biogasproduktion är ett resurseffektivt sätt att behandla avfall från livsmedelsindustrin. Metoden möjliggör en bredare analys av biogassystem och resultaten från tillämpningarna visar komplexiteten i att utvärdera resurseffektiviteten. Det visas också att det är viktigt att förstå att ett systems resurseffektivitet alltid är i förhållande till det substituerade systemet. I denna avhandling presenteras tre olika metoder för analys av biogasproduktionssystem: kategorisering, resurseffektivitetsanalys och energibehovsanalys. Dessa tillvägagångssätt bidrar alla till att förstå biogassystem och kan på olika sätt bidra till att öka kunskapen för biogassystem i världen. Med bra system för att sprida kunskap om olika biogassystem kan mer av den outnyttjade potentialen för biogasproduktion realiseras och därmed kan fler fossila bränslen i energisystemet ersättas, samtidigt som de övriga fördelarna med biogas också kommer samhället till nytta.
