Assessing land efficiency of biomethane industry: A case study of Sicily

The outcome of this study indicates clearly that 'integration biomasses' in the Sicilian context are among those which produce advanced biofuels. All by-products and wastes from the agrifood sector are necessary to produce about 562 million Nm3/year of biomethane in Sicily for 2030 (about 8% of the Italian one), allocating only 28,000 ha for the monocrops for the anaerobic digesters.
