BIOGAS ALLIANCE
North America experiences remarkable growth within the biogas sector, which leads to a greater export potential for Danish biogas companies. The Trade Council has established the Biogas Alliance, which supports Danish biogas companies in entering the North American market and hereby benefit from this rapid growth.
The Biogas Alliance brings together complimentary Danish biogas companies that provide solutions related to organics management through anaerobic digestion. The companies produce renewable natural gas and fertilizer for use in crop production through large-scale, centralized co-digestion of animal manure, food waste and other organic feedstocks. The Alliance members have a strong history of working together to provide the most effective and efficient solutions based on integration and synergy.
The biogas alliance creates a compelling and competitive value proposition for the North American biogas sector, as the Danish alliance members are able to provide complete biogas plant solutions by working together.
Our Biogas Alliance members
Ammongas
Ammongas provides tailored design solutions within biogas upgrading, air/gas purification and odour removal and ammonia separation and concentration. The upgrading plants deliver a high concentration of methane that can be injected directly into the natural gas grid or be used for transport.
Renew Energy
Renew Energy is an engineering consulting company specialized in biogas, bio-refinery, and nutrient recovery solutions. Renew Energy has provided engineering services to several biogas plants in the U.S.
Nature Energy
Nature Energy is the world's first fully-integrated renewable natural gas (RNG) company, deploying large-scale digester systems to produce energy and fertilizer for crop production. The company designs, builds, finances, owns and operates biogas plants and offers superior solutions for managing organic feedstocks like manure, food waste and agricultural residuals.
Grainit
Grainit provides intelligent inventory management and documentation for farms and biogas plants. They offer an innovative and data-driven app and solution for biogas plants to handle and track locations, suppliers, products, transports, settlements, and transporters to move biomasses to and from the biogas plant.
The Benefit of Collaborative work
The Månsson Biogas Plant, co-owned by Nature Energy and Axel Månsson, was established in Brande, Denmark in 2017 to treat 150,000 tons of organic wastes (manure, food waste, agricultural residuals) a year. The plant is Denmark’s first and largest fully organic biogas plant – producing fertilizer for organic farming and renewable natural gas for injection into the natural gas grid.
The plant currently produces 17 million cubic meters of RNG each year, which corresponds to the energy supply of approx. 12,000 houses.
- Renew Energy delivered the overall design and engineering of the digester system.
- Ammongas supplied upgrading equipment for delivery of gas to the Danish natural gas grid.
- 99.9% organic bio-pulp from a Gemidan Ecogi food waste pre-treatment facility were delivered as feedstock to the plant.
Thus, the synergies provided by the Biogas Alliance companies provide an effective and integrated ‘full circle’ solution for managing organic waste and producing renewable energy, through strong partnerships.
