8.5 megawatt biogas plant in Germany now operational
July 4, 2017 – Located in Vettin, in the Groß Pankow municipality, the plant runs on input materials such as slurry, solid manure and maize silage. Flensburg based planning office Greenline is the general planner of the plant, which is operated by the technical contractors Osters & Voss from Wittenberge in the district of Prignitz. Built in 2014, the originally 800 kilowatt biogas site has been expanded significantly, now processing approximately 70,000 tonnes of slurry, 50,000 tonnes of maize silage, and 7,000 tonnes of solid manure. The raw biogas is converted into bio-natural gas using physio-organic washing processes and then fed into the regional natural gas network of the Brandenburg utility company, E.ON-E.DIS.
