Anaerobic digestion

Biogas is a green substitute of natural gas !

Biogas from & for industryWhat kind of feedstock?

Industrial biogas plants

Source: EBA 2012

Biogas from & for industryWhy shall I treat my residues in biogas plant?

ü To minimise residual waste sent for treatment elsewhere

ü To produce biogas without adding other waste materials

ü To generate energy - both power and heat for use on site

ü To limit Greenhouse Gas emissions

EXAMPLES ?

Example of industrial plantsBiogas plant in Nivelles (BE) Feedstock: chirory roots and leaves Size: 104 kW, 500 MWh electr./yearElectricity use: 100% own consumptionHeat use: 65% own consumption

30% sold to printing company

Example of industrial plantsBiogas plant BV Dairy in Shaftesbury (UK) Feedstock: Waste water from dairy plant; 33,000 t/year Size: 190 kW; 1,539 MWh electr./yearElectricity use: own consumption, supply the electricity gridHeat use: own consumption

Example of industrial biogas useü Fleet of 14 gas powered (liquified biomethane) Iveco Stralis trucks

ü 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)

ü Operating the gas vehicle on biomethane reduced the fuel costs by 12.8 per cent

And many others...ü McCain Foods, Peterborough (UK), waste from

chip manufacture; 1063 kWe

ü John Smiths, The Brewery (Heineken) (UK), brewery effluent

ü Coca-Cola Enterprises Ltd (Kenmore Road)(UK), liquid effluent from soft drinks manufacture

Can I get some incentives or subsidy for my project?

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

Yes !

Aim: to promote biogas production from organic waste – Food and Beverage Industry

Chosen activities:ü Awareness raising eventsü 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 wasteü IT tools and guidelines for biogas from FAB Industry
