bioconstruct has announced one of its biggest contracts in its corporate biogas history to date in the UK.
The company has been commissioned to build a biomethane injection plant, as well as electricity and heat production, near Liverpool in England.
The facility will be one of the most advanced of its kind in Europe and plays a central role in the sustainable energy supply of the local industry and region, according to bioconstruct.
The plant is designed to process approximately 125,000 tons of input materials per year, focusing on waste products from local food production.
Due to the technology, these materials can be converted into biomethane and pure CO².
Once completed, biomethane will be injected into the grid, contributing to the reduction of fossil fuels consumption in the region and helping decarbonising high-energy users and households.
The biomethane injection plant will be equipped with a depackaging unit, a combined membrane biogas upgrading unit and a CO² processing plant.
To keep operating costs as low as possible, a biological external desulphurisation process will be installed, pre-cleaning the biogas and reducing the expected sulphur freights within the biogas to a minimum before entering the activated carbon filters.
The plant is scheduled for completion by mid-2026.
“This contract marks another milestone for bioconstruct and is a testament to our commitment to delivering innovative and sustainable energy solutions. We are excited to partner with the local industry to build a facility that is not only technically groundbreaking but also makes a significant contribution to the region’s energy transition” said Henrik Borgmeyer, founder and managing director of bioconstruct.
In addition, sister company BioConstruct NewEnergy Ltd. was awarded the O&M contract and will operate the plant.
This will increase the total number of AD plants operated by BioConstruct NewEnergy in England to six.
Kai Hubert Roth, partner and managing director of the English sister company, looks forward to another project for the company’s operations and commented: “In a currently very dynamic market environment we are very pleased to expand our portfolio with such a remarkable reference project and for sure can contribute to the success of such by our extensive experience from a variety of projects gained over the last 10 years in the UK.”
