Partnership aims for sustainable biofuel solution

A UNITED Kingdom farmer-led renewable energy company has teamed up with Austrian biogas experts to provide a sustainable solution to biogas production.

The partnership between Lincolnshire-based Renewable Zukunft and Austrian company Ökoenergie Utzenaich GmbH, is centred on a highly efficient anaerobic digestion process, generating consistently high volumes of biogas and from a wide variety of feedstocks including slurry, silage, arable crops and organic waste.

Renewable Zukunft director Tim Evans said their Austrian partner designed the Bio-G Energy Ring system and built its first biogas plant in 2003.

"The Bio-G system has consistently achieved over 8,700 operating hours a year.
