• More then 7 720 AD plants operate on the basis of energy crops and manure
• High remuneration rates in FIT 2009
• Restrictions caused by eutrophication in areas with active soil
• 113 plants in Germany designed foranaerobic treatment of biowaste
• Only basic tariff until FIT 2012
• 4 Mt of additional biowaste from 2015 due to obligatory biowaste collection

Hydrogen production costs on basis of electrolysis processes or via synthesis gases from
different fossil and renewable sources
Electrolysis processes require between 50 to 79 kWh to produce 1 kg hydrogen (40 kWh/kg)
The lowest production costs can be realised based on natural gas for 2,5 ct/kWh.
