This is the first Microferm biogas plant in France, realized by cattle farm Gaec des Buissons. It is a demo project by the agricultural cooperation ‘Terrena’ for exclusively digesting manure and waste products of the private cattle farm.  The manure is continuously pumped into the Microferm plant, thanks to the stable furnished with a closed floor and slurry scrapers.

The Microferm system generates electricity and heat from cattle manure, fodder leftovers and straw. The straw is initially used in cubicles, after which it is converted in the Microferm into sustainable electricity and heat together with the fresh manure. The heat is used in 3 private houses.
