From now on, thanks to the new Feed-in tariff, investing in biogas with Lilliput is worthwhile! Many regions are taking actions to support businesses also with grants (Veneto, Emilia Romagna...).
To invest in Lilliput produces a net income of 60,000 € per year even only with slurry. In additon the plant may be a solution for a full exploitation of the silages (for example: a hectar of corn silage is worth around from 400€ to 1200€ gross; as biomass for the functioning of Lilliput instead it renders around 2000€ gross!)
Plants from 50Kw - Amortisation plan
times of amortisation
25Kw: 7 years
50Kw: 4/6 years
Hours of annual functioning : from 7800 to 8000
Kwh/year in production: from 390.000 to 400.000
Output
Self-consumption electricity (5%) = 5400 €
Maintenance: around 11.000 €/year
Insurance: 3500 €/years
Instalment of loan: 35.000 €/year x 15 years
_______________
total: 55.000 €/year
Gross income - Expenses = Net income: around € 50.000/60.000 (only with slurry!)
PS. if we also use biomass we must deduct from income the cost of the biomass. Assuming even a plant which goes only on corn silage it is still worthwhile.
