Under the heading 'Absurd slurry requirement stifles green dream' regrets bread factory Kohberg in Erhvervsbladet the fact that they can not get funding for a biogas plant to treat the company's bread waste, because it requires that they use 75 per cent. slurry in the plant.
The newspaper will Kohberg build a biogas plant, because the company has joined the UN initiative Global Compact, where private companies promise to help solve the world's social and environmental challenges.
But the plant need not despair: A large biogas project, Bio Energy Park Barrels, some 20 kilometers from the factory, ready with a solution:
"If you want to be green, so you can just come down to us with your bread waste," said board member and lawyer Hans Henrik Fischer of Bio Energy Park Barrels.
Bio Energy Park Barrels is a very large biogas project, planned to treat 700,000 tons of manure and 240,000 tons of energy maize and small amounts of slaughterhouses and other food waste. It could be bread waste.
"We've actually been in contact with Kohberg about deliveries to the biogas plant," says Hans Henrik Fischer.
55 MW of production per year
The biogas plant in Tnder scheduled to produce the equivalent of 49 million. Normal cubic meters per year.
The gas will be cleaned and sent out into the natural gas grid and awaiting the moment that the legal framework is in place for this. Politically it is contained in the energy policy report in late February this year.
Lawyer Hans Henrik Fischer expects that the necessary bill will be tabled before the summer:
"And we will - if all goes well - be ready for production start at the biogas plant in mid-2013," he says.
He adds that the biogas solves the animal manure agricultural issues since the biogas plant may spread manure from livestock farming to plant breeders. But when the energy content of manure is low, you have to add another biological mass - for example, bread and slaughterhouse waste - to optimize the process.
Hans Henrik Fischer explains that Bio Energy Park Barrels already very interested investors, contracts with some farmers for the supply of manure, and that we are in negotiations with gas companies who want to buy biogas.
"But everything waits for the legal framework is in order. Once in place, then I'm quite sure that the project is on track, "he says.
The budget for the entire project is 565 million. dollars and it includes a nice return to investors.
