Biogas

What is biogas used for?

By producing biogas, Eurowind Energy is one step closer to realising the vision of using different kinds of technology to produce renewable energy for various needs.

Biogas has an important role to play in the future energy supply to produce fuel where electrification is not possible. It is based on circular and local production and is a natural part of our intent to produce different kinds of energy for different needs and use the synergy between the different kinds of technologies.

The selection of a refined product type from hydrogen will depend on the possible off-takers in the local area to minimise transport and keep costs low.

Our vision is to create synergy between the different technologies by creating energy centres using biogas alongside the production of wind, solar PV, and PtX to secure the future need for fuel and power.

How to produce biogas

Our biogas plant uses straw, and the process enables nutrients from the straw to be retained. This makes it possible to send the nutrients back into the soil as fertiliser. Gasification allows the soil to receive all nutrients which would otherwise be lost through the burning of straw and other crops. Burning removes the nutrients completely. Gasification is a circular process, where we can use resources repeatedly instead of burning and destroying them.

Biogas creates the foundation to produce methanol, e-fuels and other products that can benefit the heavy and transport industry.

Biogas can be converted into hydrogen and e-fuel for industries that cannot be electrified. Furthermore, depending on local needs, it can be processed into different products for industrial production and the construction industry.
