In 2003, rEs Projects GmbH has been involved in the development
and control of the first biomethane feeding-in project in
Germany. since then, rEs successfully has accomplished many
other biomethane projects.
By technical specialization and interdisciplinary consulting
teams, we cover the entire biogas value-added chain and
bundle all skills for consulting, development and operational
enhancement of biomethane projects. With a proven project
approach and comprehensive experience from numerous
projects, we daily work with passion towards a sustainable and
locally rooted energy supply of the future. In partnership with
our customers we realize this vision – rEs is ‘energy for generations’.
With our range of services, rEs Projects paves the way for
feeding-in biogas into the public natural gas network.

In the summer of 2009, rWE put a plant with bio-methane feed-
ing of around 15,600 nm 3 per day into operation in Güterglück
in saxony-anhalt, equating to a bio-methane generation of 52
million kWh per year. It suffices to provide the equivalent of
about 6,000 households or a district heating power plant with
a rating of three MW with gas around the clock. over 50,000
el
tonnes of regenerative raw materials will be used annually –
mainly maize silage, intercrop fruit and liquid manure.
a similar plant is also built in Bergheim-Paffendorf (north
rhine-Westphalia). Here too, up to 15,600 nm3 refined biogas
will be produced.
With the use of liquid manure, rWE is developing a completely
new plant concept. The company has entered into an alli-
ance with the agricultural federation “Westfälisch- Lippischer
Landwirtschaftsverband”. The goal is to build biogas plant
operating almost completely on liquid manure. To do that, the
fermentation residues are refined in an innovative process into
high-quality manure, which can be spread on the fields outside
the refining region in Münsterland instead of the original
manure, reducing excess soil nutrients in regions with intensive
animal husbandry. The production of biogas and marketing of
manure creates additional sources of income for the farmers.
The construction of a pilot plant is expected to start in 2010. The
plant will be designed for 9 MW and could thus feed 60 GWh of
th
bio-methane gas and 8 GWh of electricity into the public grid.
In total, rWE plans to build up to 10 plants with refining and
feeding into Germany’s natural gas grid by 2012.
