About Maabjerg Bioenergy
Maabjerg BioEnergy is a bioenergy plant of unprecedented
dimensions. The plant will be able to handle large amounts of
manure, as well as industrial waste from the food industry. Using a
complicated process, these materials will be turned into heat,
electricity and various nutrients for onward sale.
Through the establishment of this plant, the quantity of phosphate
and nitrogen released to the environment is expected to be
significantly reduced, while at the same time the production of
biogas will be utilised in the production of energy, thereby
benefiting the surrounding area.
Once the plant is fully operational it will convert 50.000 tonnes
of CO2. 20.000 tonnes being related to energy production and the
remaining 30.000 tonnes through a reduced emission of CO2
equivalents directly on farms, due to a reduced emission of
methane.
The later phenomenon may be best known from the case regarding a
special charge on cows' farts.
Because of the strong partnership supporting the project, it will
be possible to make optimal use of the plant to develop new
knowledge about the utilisation of bio-fuel for energy supply and
about the environmental breakthroughs, which are expected from
Maabjerg BioEnergy.
