 The structure of a biogas program depends on the stage of biogas development in which the program operates. We have listed below a number of typical forms of biogas programs with their important structural elements. In reality, these programs often represent stages of a longer biogas program. For example, a biogas dissemination program can have a research and development (R&D) phase, a pilot phase, a dissemination phase and a follow-up phase. Often, these phases have large overlaps.<br/>
