About Biogas Rankings

This leaderboard shows local authorities ranked by installed anaerobic digestion (biogas) capacity in megawatts. Biogas is produced from organic waste materials and provides a renewable source of energy.

Biogas plants help reduce waste while generating clean electricity and heat, making them an important part of the circular economy.
