Biogasgrid ecoEnergyland - Heat and fuel

Biogas for heating purposes

The region of ecoEnergyland is characterized by scattered settlements and that’s the reason for the circumstance that only houses in communities town centers were able to be connected to the biomass district heating grids. Now the plan is to construct an area wide biogas grid in order to supply all those settlements too. The houses are then going to be heated by gas central heating with the help of special biogas heaters. The regional biogas plants (anaerobic digestion plants) will be connected by main pipelines and in the communities itself local networks will be constructed. Decentralized biogas storage units will provide uninterrupted service.

Biogas for refueling purposes

Bio-methane will be produced by decentralized upgrading plants located at some communities in ecoEnergyland. These upgrading plants should be coupled with the biogas grid and the gas filling stations should be providing bio-methane for citizens, enterprises and regional public transport.

Regional supply feedstock

To guarantee a sustainable supply of feedstock in an available diversity a communal feedstock association is required. On the basis of the already existing communal drinking water association or association for sewage treatment, which are operated very efficient and successful for years, the unused potential of forestal, agricultural, private, communal and industrial residues should be collected and utilized. The association’s staff members are in charge for management, temporary storage and supply of energy plants. The financing of the association is covered by the sale of feedstock.
