Gas network is extremely dense in Hungary. More than 80% of the flats have access to the gas network. This would imply that fairly large number of biogas installations could feed in biogas to the pipeline.
Unfortunately the practice of gas service providers in the near past discouraged investors of biomass plants. The conditions of linking to gas pipeline were so severe that large scale or medium sized biogas stations project were stopped, or re-designed to lower output and supply neighboring facilities.
Strangely enough the dense gas network and the easy accessibility of clean and easy to use natural gas is a barrier itself. As non-commercial users shifted to natural gas in large numbers and so made all necessary changes in their houses/flats, can not afford another investment to fulfil the criteria of Renewable Electricity Standard (RES).
