This installation, built by HoSt, uses agricultural products and manure to produce sustainable electricity and heat. Unique about this installation is that the input/ mixing concept allows the digestion of difficult waste streams, such as chicken manure, grass and straw.

The installation is built in 2 phases. In the first phase, in 2012, the capacity was 1.2 MWe, which was doubled to 2.4 MWe in the second phase in 2013. With this expansion, an identical digester was added, and the total efficiency was improved by placing a second after-digester.
