Summary In this paper, we assess the total cost of energy recovery from sewage sludge through anaerobic digestion with biogas utilization in combined heat and power (CHP) system. The important advantage of anaerobic digestion process is the production of biogas, which can be used to generate electricity and heat as a source of renewable energy. From this study, it can be retained that the generated thermal energy from the anaerobic digestion process meets the needs of the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and guarantees its self‐sufficiency in heat. The surplus of renewable heat produced by CHP is not a primary factor to improve the economic viability of the process. Moreover, the sales of electricity output represent about 76% of the operating costs of anaerobic digestion process. Renewable energy production is not economically viable by its own, without considering the wastewater treatment function and the associated incomes. Nevertheless, sludge digestion helps to reduce the wastewater treatment costs mainly by giving a good source of revenue via electricity production. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…A much more recent contribution by Popp and Newell (2012) points to the fact that energy R&D for alternative energy (or patents measuring the outcomes of renewable energy R&D) comes at the expense of other types of R&D within firms. However, the authors note that this is 2 Most of the regulation-induced literature deals rather with environmental innovation in general, see Jaffe et al (2002) and Popp et al (2010) for comprehensive reviews of this literature. Policy stimulated demand for renewable energy technologies (feed-in-tariffs), however, is not found to be a significant driver of related innovation; see Braun et al (2010) and especially Böhringer et al (2014) for German evidence.…”

Abstract -Many countries, especially in Europe, have ambitious goals to transform their national energy systems towards renewable energies. Technological change in both renewable production and efficient use of energy can help to make these targets come true. Using a panel of German firms linked to the PATSTAT patent data, we study invention in both types of energy technologies and how their inventors differ in terms of central firm-specific characteristics. More importantly, we study the relation between conventional (i.e. non-energy) invention and energy invention within the firms. The results from dynamic count data models point to a stimulating effect of conventional inventions for energy efficiency technologies but have no effect on inventions in renewable energies.
