European Biogas Association

With new faces stepping in post-EU elections, it is crucial to introduce the biogas sector and its key role in realising a vision for a greener and more sustainable Europe. 🌱 What is biogas? It is a renewable energy source produced from organic matter such as household and industrial waste, sewage sludge, urban wastewater, and manure. This process supports the shift to circularity by turning waste into valuable energy, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Biogas can provide renewable heat and power as well as green fuel. The residues from biogas production also offer significant benefits: bio-CO2 can be reused in various industries, and the nutrient-rich matter left behind in the digester is ideal for organic farming, completing the cycle of organic waste use. 🎥 Watch our video to find out more. #biogas #biomethane #sustainable

📍 This summer, the EBA team visited several biogas plants across Belgium. The first stop? The Digrom Energy biogas plant, operated by BiogasTec NV. BiogasTec manages six of its own biogas installations, with a total green electricity production capacity of 26 MW—enough to power approximately 50,000 households. The Digrom Energy plant is located in Ardooie, Belgium, with an input capacity of 89,000 tonnes per year of vegetable biodegradable and organic waste. ♻️ It generates 26,300 MWh of green electricity (enough to power 7,950 families per year) along with 28,600 MWh of green heat, 15,400 tonnes of soil improver, and 27,500 tonnes of effluent water. A special thanks to Wouter Platteau, CEO and owner of BiogasTec, for a very informative visit. Stay tuned to discover which other plants the EBA team has visited! #biogas #sustainability 

Curious about the future of renewable energy? Join us for the fifth EBA DigDeep! Webinar, “Mapping e-methane plants and technologies”, where we will explore the opportunities and challenges ahead for e-methane. This episode promises an insightful look into the evolving landscape of e-methane and its crucial role in the overall energy mix. We will examine how the methanation process contributes to energy system integration, with a focus on its potential to significantly boost the production of renewable green gas across Europe. During the webinar, we will also unveil our latest white paper on methanation, offering a comprehensive overview of current technologies, market trends, and future prospects in the sector. Our expert panel will guide you through the key findings, providing an in-depth analysis and discussing the strategic implications for industry stakeholders. 🗓️ When? 9 September from 10:00 to 11:30 CEST 🔗 Save the date and be part of the discussion: https://lnkd.in/e9KGf9Ms 📋 Check out the full programme: https://lnkd.in/eMAJY7bK
