Case Study: Biogas production plant in Brecht, Belgium

Download Case Study: PDF Icon EnglishEnglish | FrançaisFrançais | PolskiPolski

Abstract

Biogas is a gas resulting from the anaerobic decomposition of organic materials (woody waste, farming residues). For several years, there has been an economically viable alternative to traditional energy sources which is also one of the less expensive renewable energies available. In Brecht, in the Antwerp region, the conclusive results of a pilot biomethanation unit have led to the installation of a larger biogas production plant, marking a new milestone in municipal waste treatment policy.
