Summary/Abstract: One of the ways to obtain electricity from renewable energy sources is biogas. Through the use of waste (agricultural and industrial) and anaerobic fermentation in the socalled biogas plants biogas is obtained, which can be used for the production of methane.. Biogas plants as any technical devices are exposed to various risks, in particular methane explosions. The aim of the article is to assess the risk of exploitation of biogas plants for their inclusion in the insurance. In the article we present the status of biogas plants in Poland and prospects for their development. We indicate the scope and terms of insurance biogas from some random events. In this article we attempt to estimate the sum insured the types and frequency of damage that may arise during the operation of biogas plants.
