Kielen<br />
Country Luxembourg<br />
Region Capellen<br />
Plant Location Kielen<br />
Start of Operation 2010<br />
Biomethane Feed-in<br />
Capacity<br />
360 Nm 3 /h<br />
Upgrade Technology Pressurised Water Scrubbing<br />
Substrate 50,000 t of primary products, liquid<br />
manure and residues from the food<br />
industry<br />
More than 30 farmers and business associates around Kielen<br />
have joined forces in the <strong>initiative</strong> “naturgas Kielen” in order<br />
to assemble the 50,000 t of renewable primary products, liquid<br />
manure as well as residues from the food industry for the biogas<br />
plant in Kielen. Their motivation to opt for the feed-in of biomethane<br />
derived from the rural structures of the region where<br />
the heat could not be marketed as well as when transported via<br />
the natural gas grid.<br />
The biogas is upgraded to the local natural gas quality (more<br />
than 98 percent of methane) with a pressurised water scrubbing<br />
process and fed into the near-by gas grid.<br />
The project is to be the first biomethane plant in Luxembourg<br />
and enjoys the full support of public stakeholders as well as the<br />
media.<br />
The start of operation is scheduled in 2010.<br />

Tilburg<br />
Country The Netherlands<br />
Region North Brabant<br />
Plant Location Tilburg<br />
Start of Operation 1986<br />
Biomethane Feed-in<br />
Capacity<br />
1,300 Nm 3 /h<br />
Upgrade Technology Pressurised Water Scrubbing<br />
Substrate 52,000 t / a of organic waste from the<br />
food industry and private households<br />
on the site of an old landfill, the Tilburg utilities erected a gas<br />
upgrading plant in 1986. In this plant, gas from a landfill is<br />
upgraded together with gas from a close-by sewage plant and<br />
a biogas plant, which operates on organic waste from the food<br />
industries and private households. about 70 percent of the raw<br />
biogas stem from this biogas plant. The raw biogas thus generated<br />
possesses a methane concentration of 55 percent and is<br />
then upgraded to the local natural gas quality of 88 percent.<br />
Both the biogas and the landfill gas are upgraded with a pressurised<br />
water scrubbing technology, which represents an<br />
investment of 3.6 million €. The maximum biomethane feed-in<br />
capacity amounts to 1,300 nm3 / h. The yearly overall energy production<br />
of the plant amounts to 18 GWh, of which 3.3 GWh are<br />
used for interal processes, while the rest is sold to the regional<br />
gas supply company.
