摘要: Biomethane is an interesting source for sustainable energy systems, featuring great flexibility that translates into multiple possible applications (vehicle fuel, combined production of thermal and electrical energy, injection in the gas grid). Compared to biogas, biomethane permits greater efficiency. Its use not limited immediate area plant purification raw methane means lifespans equipment. This paper analyses its transport sector light recent statutory changes introduce incentives. Net Present Value (NPV) Discounted Payback Time (DPBT) are applied evaluation profitability plants, calculated function feedstocks used, dimensions firm configuration (producer distributor combined; separate firms). Environmental considerations a high number natural vehicles (NGVs) define strategic role Italian sector. Keywords : biomethane; economic development; sustainability JEL Classifications 018; Q2
