juwi Bio GmbH<br />

Besides agricultural and industrial biogas plants the juwi group<br />

also constructs biomass heating power and wood chip heating<br />

plants in different dimensions.<br />

With an annual turnover of about 600 million EUr in 2009 and<br />

more than 900 employees juwi is one of the leading renewable<br />

energy companies.<br />

as an experienced project developer juwi is offering the whole<br />

line-up of regenerative energy projects. juwi bio is taking care<br />

of safeguarding an industry’s competitiveness and the raw material<br />

supply as well as planning, getting permissions, financing,<br />

realization up to the project management.<br />

a main pillar for juwi bio is biogas plants on nawaro basis.<br />

several modern plants with a magnitude of 500 KW have been<br />

realized so far in connection with a good heating concept.<br />

as the number of biogas facilities in Germany is constantly<br />

rising, good locations with a reliable supply of substrates and<br />

a convincing concept for energy recovery will be harder to<br />

find. That is why juwi focuses on project development of biogas<br />

plants with a feed into the gas grid.<br />

Farmers participating are able to develop a second income. juwi<br />

has designed participation models, for example a co-op.<br />

Benefiting from juwi’s experience, authority and different participation<br />

models farmers are part of a well-knit community.<br />

Utilities profit from purchasing ecologically produced biomethane.<br />

It is turned into electric energy in a block heat and<br />

power plant, where all lost heat can be used.<br />

KWs saaT aG<br />

Companies.and.Market.Players.<br />

KWs saaT aG is one of the world’s leading companies in plant<br />

breeding, with activities in about 70 countries with more than<br />

40 subsidiaries and affiliated companies. The product range<br />

includes more than 250 seed varieties for sugar beet, maize, cereals,<br />

oil seeds and potatoes. KWs conducted business in family<br />

since 1856 in an independent and sustainable manner.<br />

With research, breeding and the production of seeds which<br />

yield increasingly stronger results, KWs stands at the beginning<br />

of the value-added chain. Bioenergy takes a very special place in<br />

renewable energy, as plants represent an almost inexhaustible<br />

source of food and raw materials. KWs recognised this early and<br />

designed its own breeding programme for energy plants.<br />

KWs relies on whole plant usage and on the production of bio-<br />

gas energy, which is probably the most profitable and efficient<br />

form of bioenergy generation in farming at the moment. Its<br />

potential to yield is crucial for the profitability of energy plants<br />

in particular. The increase in biomass yields is therefore at the<br />

centre of our research activities for energy plants. When breeding<br />

to optimise the gas amount per hectare, the increase in total<br />

dry mass yields is crucial, in contrary to breeding for consumption<br />

or sugar creation. The highest energy yields per surface<br />

unit are achieved when fermenting biomass from whole plants<br />

to biogas.<br />

The KWs energy plant programme for biogas generation<br />

currently includes the cultures of maize, sugar beet, sorghum<br />

and rye.<br />
