Wijster, Netherlands
The largest anaerobic digestion plant in Europe to process 100% poultry manure
The Wijster waste-to-value plant in the Netherlands is designed to produce methane-rich biogas from the biological conversion of poultry manure. We process 136.500 tons of poultry manure a year. The manure is received from broiler and egg-laying farms across the Netherlands. This project is another building block in our journey to create value from waste and to do our part in helping create a sustainable greener future.
Specifics
The biogas will be utilised to produce 3.0 MW of electricity and 3.1 MW of thermal energy. 27.0 MW of biomethane will be produced for injection into the local gas network. After the digestion process, the digestate will be stripped of nitrogen to produce a liquid fertiliser stream. All solid digestate will be dried and pelletised for sales globally.
- First gas to grid May 2022 – fully operational since October 2022.
- 36,8 million m3 of biogas, of which 235.000 MWh is injected into the Dutch gas grid. And has the capacity to export 26.000 MWh of electrical energy.
- During the process, the plant produces <-70 gCO2/MJ carbon-negative biomethane.
- High-quality fertilizers and ammonium sulphate from the by-products to enhance the closed-loop process.
Our green solutions
We produce biogas that we upgrade into many useful energy forms, such as biomethane, bio LNG and renewable energy. During the process of making biogas, we convert the surplus into by-products such as organic fertilisers.
