Project typeBiogas plant
LocationNear Montevideo, Uruguay
Year of construction2019
Output250 kW
DescriptionHess.Oldendorf 25.09.2019 – ARCHEA New Energy GmbH, a full-service provider of biogas plants, hereby announces that it is building its first biogas plant in Uruguay, near Montevideo.
Planning, construction and servicing are carried out by its Brazilian subsidiary, ARCHEA America Latina, based in Pomerode/Santa Catarina.
Manure from dairy sheep, whey and feed residues from sheep's cheese production are used as feedstock.
With a peak output of 250kW, the biogas plant is designed to supply electricity and heat on demand, ensuring a self-sufficient energy supply for the entire operation,
even in the event of a power cut affecting the public electricity supply.
After digestion in the 2000m3 digester, the digestate is applied as organic fertiliser
to agricultural land, reducing the need for mineral fertilisers.
In total, avoiding methane emissions and generating renewable energy saves approximately 7,000 tonnes of CO2!
