The process consists of collecting
organic matter, storing it in a digester (a closed, low-oxygen tank) and
converting it into gas.
Local partners working without
chemicals or pesticides can dispose of any excess organic matter that cannot be
reused for fertilisation and thus participate in this environmentally friendly
and sustainable energy production.
The resulting gas is used in
different places: in the restaurant’s kitchen, as fuel for vehicles and
machines (cleaned) and for the production of electricity (converted by a
generator). The cooling water from the generator (80 degrees) is used for
heating and hot water.
The slag which remains in the
digester is composted with organic matter and converted into fertile soil.
Spread over the fields it will promote soil humus. It can also be resold to partners.
With the help of the heat that the
cows give off, we are planning to grow vegetables in the barn during winter. The
heat keeps the greenhouse frost-free and is recycled by means of a heat pump.
That way, hot water for the hotel and restaurant will be produced.
