Abstract

This study aims to assess the economic feasibility of biogas production from the biomass of Miscanthus Giganteus. Three scenarios have been applied based on its productivity and stand’s life. The breakeven prices per tonne for each scenario were calculated and sensitivity analysis was conducted with respect to various factors. Afterward, the cost per gigajoule was calculated and compared to Natural Gas. The cost per gigajoule of Miscanthus ranges from 920-3033 AMD based on the sensitivity results, hence it can be quite cheap alternative depending on the yield, discount rates and rhizome costs.
