The prospects for an expansion of biogas systems in Sweden—Incentives, barriers and potentials
TLDR
In this paper, different policies and policy instruments, as well as other factors, which influence a potential expansion of Swedish biogas systems, are identified and evaluated, and the existing incentives and barriers can be divided into those affecting the production of Biogas, and those affecting its utilisation.About:

Codigestion of solid wastes: A review of its uses and perspectives including modeling
TL;DR: A review of codigestion practices starting from the late 1970s, when the first papers related to this concept were published, and continuing to the present day, demonstrating the exponential growth in the interest shown in this approach in recent years.

Biogas as a resource-efficient vehicle fuel
Pål Börjesson,Bo Mattiasson +1 more
TL;DR: Compared with other biomass-based vehicle fuels available so far, biogas often has several advantages from an environmental and resource-efficiency perspective, and this provides the motivation for further technological development aiming to reduce costs and thereby increased economic competitiveness ofBiogas as a vehicle fuel.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the natural and anthropogenic controls on the conversion of unreactive N2 to more reactive forms of nitrogen (Nr) and found that human activities increasingly dominate the N budget at the global and at most regional scales, and the terrestrial and open ocean N budgets are essentially dis-connected.

The politics and policy of energy system transformation—explaining the German diffusion of renewable energy technology
Staffan Jacobsson,Volkmar Lauber +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the reasons for the particularly rapid spread of two such technologies in Germany, wind turbines and solar cells, and trace this diffusion to the nature of the policy instruments employed and to the political process which led to the adoption of these instruments.

Ammonia emission from field applied manure and its reduction-invited paper
Sven G. Sommer,N.J Hutchings +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that there is a complex relationship between the NH3 emission rate from slurry and the slurry composition, soil conditions and climate and that a more mechanistic approach is required.

Anaerobic digestion of solid waste: state-of-the-art
TL;DR: In this paper, a study was made on the development of digestion capacity for solid waste in Europe, which was limited to plants in operation or under construction that were treating at least 10% organic solid waste coming from market waste or municipal solid waste.
