MICROFERM IN KAMPEN, THE NETHERLANDS
‘Green gas Kampen’ is a collaboration between dairy farmer De Groot and HoSt. The installation is both operated and maintained by HoSt.
This Microferm Renewable Gas Installation produces 252,000 Nm3 (cubic meters) of biomethane (renewable gas) from 15,000 tonnes of manure each year, of which a maximum of 5% is agricultural co-products. More than 160 Dutch households can use the produced renewable gas for cooking, heating and hot water.
The manure is anaerobically digested in the digester and converted into biogas. In the biogas upgrading system, the biogas produced is upgraded to biomethane (green gas or renewable gas). Subsequently, the product gas with natural gas quality is fed directly into the natural gas network.
Project Green Gas Kampen receives the government’s subsidy Stimulation Sustainable Energy Production (SDE+).
