The project investigated the Swedish farmers' collaboration in farm-based biogas production and studied the effects of various forms of collaboration for the entrepreneur's profitability, production, environmental benefits, and learning and rural development.

The project was conducted in two phases. The first phase consisted of a survey of all farm-based biogas plants in Sweden. This mapping provided a basis for the second phase, which consisted of an in-depth analysis through case studies of various collaboration constellations.
