DEFINITLY ! Power utilization or sales are the priority when
you use an engine.
Normally the consumption or sales of the heat produced from a
biogas plant is a barrier in the economy of the plant, in hot countries (unless
we have some local cooling need).
I’m happy for this Brazilian coffee producer, because perhaps
he has the possibility to locally consume this heat and may be, he can choose if
he want to produce any power.
Now it start’s another problem, when we compare the price of a
kW produced in a biogas plant, with the one produced by wood firing. It depend
very much of the constrains and environmental protection legislation of each
country.
That's why is very hard to give definite answers with so little
material on the desk...
