Recent research projects have targeted the hitherto limited inclusion of the subsurface and its geo-resources in spatial planning in Sweden. The UNDER project focuses on the societal implications of using the concept of geosystem services to support planning practices. The concept of geosystem services has been described as the contributions to human well-being from the abiotic world or from the s

This paper analyses the overall environmental impact when biogas systems are introduced and replace various reference systems for energy generation, waste management and agricultural production. The analyses are based on Swedish conditions using a life-cycle perspective. The biogas systems included are based on different combinations of raw materials and final use of the biogas produced (heat, pow
