Denmark's Eurowind Energy throws biogas right into the mix

• Danish renewables designer Eurowind Energy A/S has set up a new competence centre for biogas to complement the existing ones for solar photovoltaic (PV), wind energy and Power-to-X (PtX).

The firm said on Monday that it is entering the biogas market as part of a plan to create large energy centres with a range of complementary innovations sustaining different needs. When it comes to biogas, Eurowind Energy feels that it should be made use of as an alternative as well as required fuel for sure markets and also not for heating residential residences or power generation.

Today, the company is establishing eight biogas projects in Denmark and expects to begin building and construction on the first one in 2023/24. Its plants will certainly prioritise the use of straw and also other biomaterial and also will certainly be produced without extreme use of accelerators even though, it claims, this can more than double the length of the gasification procedure.

Besides biogas, the output of the centers will consist of oxygen, co2 (CO2), as well as fertiliser, with the gases having the prospective to be refined further in combination with hydrogen, to create e-fuels and also methanol, to name a few by-products. The company kept in mind that the final products will certainly depend on the neighborhood off-taker.

"We see biogas as a vital foundation for our energy centres. We currently have the power from our solar as well as wind parks. It makes good sense to combine as well as let these components work together in a shut system. By doing this we can minimize the stress on the framework of both electrical power as well as gas," claimed Søren Rasmussen, Eurowind Energy founder as well as replacement chairman of the firm's board.

Ultimately, Eurowind Energy intends to pursue biogas projects beyond its home country too.
