As an introduction to the module on biological conversion processes, we visited Cler Verts brand-new biogas plant, built last fall by the german company EnviTec. Designed for a nominal annual capacity of 18 000 tons, the plant produces 5 070 MWh of electricity per year (equivalent to the consumption of 950 housefolds) and 5 870 MWh of energy per year. It completes the green solutions already offered by the company:

• solid fuel production from untreated waste wood;
• pretreatment of varnished or painted wood for the manufacture of wood panel;
• compost production from green waste, feathers….

 

 

 

Compost and digestate offer important soil improvements that are mutally beneficial rather than alternatives! Thank you Elodie for the explanation.
