HOW BIOGAS PLANT WORKS?
Biogas is a green substitute of natural gas !
Anaerobic digestion Source: www.juwi.com
Types of biogas plants According to substrate
According to size, e.g.:

Biogas from & for industry What kind of feedstock?
Industrial biogas plants
Source: EBA 2012
Biogas from & for industry Why shall I treat my residues in biogas plant?
端
To minimise residual waste sent for treatment elsewhere
端
To produce biogas without adding other waste materials
端
To generate energy - both power and heat for use on site
端
To limit Greenhouse Gas emissions
EXAMPLES ?
Example of industrial plants Biogas plant in Nivelles (BE) Feedstock: chirory roots and leaves Size: 104 kW, 500 MWh electr./year Electricity use: 100% own consumption Heat use: 65% own consumption 30% sold to printing company
Example of industrial plants Biogas plant BV Dairy in Shaftesbury (UK) Feedstock: Waste water from dairy plant; 33,000 t/year Size: 190 kW; 1,539 MWh electr./year Electricity use: own consumption, supply the electricity grid Heat use: own consumption
Example of industrial biogas use 端
Fleet of 14 gas powered (liquified biomethane) Iveco Stralis trucks
端
The new Coca-Cola gas fleet will consume approximately 168 tonnes of biomethane and save over 300 tonnes of CO2 (50.3% saving in well-to-wheel GHG emissions)
端
Operating the gas vehicle on biomethane reduced the fuel costs by 12.8 per cent
And many others... 端
McCain Foods, Peterborough (UK), waste from chip manufacture; 1063 kWe
端
John Smiths, The Brewery (Heineken) (UK), brewery effluent
端
Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd (Kenmore Road) (UK), liquid effluent from soft drinks manufacture
Can I get some incentives or subsidy for my project?
Yes ! ü
Feed-in Tariff (FIT) or certificate sale for electricity injected into grid Example: Denmark – FIT for industrial processes: 75 DKK/GJ (10.1 EUR/GJ)
ü
Subsidies, loands from national and regional programmes
FAB Biogas project Aim: to promote biogas production from organic waste – Food and Beverage Industry Chosen activities: ü Awareness raising events ü National contact points in associations in all partner countries advise industrial stakeholders on funding and financing programmes ü Best practice examples and recommendations how to overcome barriers ü Identify potentials for using FaB waste ü IT tools and guidelines for biogas from FAB Industry Website not available yet, check regularly: www.european-biogas.eu
