Abstract


The purpose of this work is to examine the economic and environmental sustainability of a laboratory that carries out the necessary analyses for biogas production from biomass. The results emerging from the Business Plan were related to the state of facilities existing in the Lombardia region. The limits and potentiality of the sector were identified by means of the BEP Model (Break Even Point) in the geographic area of reference. The most interesting final results have revealed both the undeniable potential of the sector and its strategic role within the framework of the sustainable energy objectives of Europe 20-20-20. The network of laboratories, in fact, constitutes a guarantee and an element of security for the effective reduction of greenhouse gases.
