Strategie a rozvoj obnovitelného zdroje energie v podmínkách provozovatele v ČR

Biogas plants are a key component of decentralized renewable energy production. However, following the termination of operational support for combined heat and power generation, they face the challenge of finding a new economically sustainable operating model. This thesis evaluates the economic feasibility of continuing the operation of an agricultural biogas plant and compares alternative development options under the conditions of the Czech Republic. The evaluation is conducted using a discounted cash flow model with net present value as the main decision-making criterion. The results show that continuing combined heat and power generation is not economically sustainable after the end of support. Biomethane production generates positive operating cash flows; however, its feasibility is significantly constrained by the high costs of connection to the high-pressure gas grid. The best economic results are achieved by a hybrid option combining biomethane production and a photovoltaic power plant. The thesis provides a practically applicable decision-making framework for the strategic development of agricultural biogas plants.
