Syftet med denna studie har varit att utreda potentialen för framställning av metan genom förgasningav biomassa i Biogas Öst-regionen. Potentialen uppskattas utifrån tekniska, ekonomiska ochråvarurelaterade begränsningar. Beräkningar för utbyten av metan från förgasning av biomassa baseras påtidigare studier inom området.
