Weltec BioPower to build biogas park

In the second quarter of 2010, Weltec BioPower will start building a biogas plant in Arneburg, Germany. From 2011 on, more than 350 million cubic feet of biomethane will be produced every year in six fermenters, four digestate storage units, and one liquid reservoir, and will be fed into the natural gas grid.
Weltec BioPower is the general contractor, and NordMethan Produktion Arneburg is the investor and operator. It represents an investment of approximately EUR21 million, and will also create 10 jobs, according to the company.
The concept of the biogas park, which will be erected at a 10-hectare (25-acre) site, comprises the use of renewable raw materials and manure from 30 farmers. The digestate accumulating at the plant will be used by the farmers.
