Standardization in the field of biogas produced by anaerobic digestion, gasification from biomass and power to gas from biomass sources including the following aspects:
- Domestic biogas systems
- Domestic biogas installations (household and small farm scale)
- Institutional/community/commercial biogas systems
- Dedicated systems for electricity generation
- Flares for biogas plants
- Safety and environmental aspects
- Biomass gasification
- Purpose made systems for transport biofuel production
In order to effectively cover the technology, it is proposed to develop standards that cover the following aspects:
- Terms, definitions and classification scheme for the production, conditioning and utilization of biogas
- System design, construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning
- Systems safety
- System components
- Biogas appliances
- Biogas upgrades
- Biogas power generation equipment
- Biogas energy crops
- Test methods and equipment
- Systems life-cycle analysis and sustainability criteria
