Monthly biogas open days

Due to a surge of interest in on-farm biogas production in the UK and the rest of Europe, EnviTec Biogas AG has organised a series of open days on farms using their systems in Germany.

These open days will take place once a month, normally on the first Tuesday of the month, on units operating near the company’s manufacturing facility at Saerbeck in North-Rhine Westfalia in the north of the country.

Members of the company’s technical department will be on hand to provide detailed information to groups of visitors and answer questions. The Münster/Osnabrück airport is nearby and buses will be provided for ease of travel.

"Such visits will enable farmers to assess at first hand the whole concept of biogas production, from setting up to day-to-day operation on working farms," commented Mike McLaughlin, managing director of EnviTec Biogas UK.

Note to Editors: EnviTec Biogas UK Ltd, a joint-venture company between ARM Buildings Ltd and EnviTec Biogas AG, was formed in 2007. EnviTec Biogas AG, Germany’s leading biogas company, is represented in more than 15 countries throughout Europe. It is building what is believed to be the world’s largest biogas plant in Western Pomerania, with an electrical output of 22 megawatts. Following an amendment to the German Renewable Energies Act in 2008, it predicts sales in Germany will increase from 150 to 200 million euros in 2009, with a concomitant increase in export business.
