| Summary: | Romania is one of Europe’s traditional
producers of energy from renewable sources. After
the regime change 1989 nothing happened in this
market until 2008 when the Romanian renewable
sector went through a remarkable boom. 5.000 MW
new capacities were installed mainly in wind, PV and
biomass plants but almost none in biogas plants.
There is plenty of substrate available, some of it for
free, and the support mechanism is also very generous
when it comes to biogenic gas, so how come today
there are less than 15 MW installed in biogas
capacities? This question lies at the base of our
research covering several company intern and extern
aspects. This particular article addresses the risks
induced by technology vs. the market risks on the
basis of a study case from Romania. We analyse the
profitability indicators of the first landfill gas
recovery facility from Romania which was after
implementation less profitable than expected.
