Energea, BioDiesel International and the Christof Group - three biodiesel producers from Austria - are negotiating with a number of Indonesian agribusiness companies to cooperate on biodiesel production, Austrian Commercial Counselor Raymund Gradt says. The three Austrian companies are leading technology solution providers for biodiesel production and currently produce a total of 440,000 tons of biodiesel per annum in Austria, more than half of their country’s annual demand of around 700,000-800,000 tons. In order to meet EU targets, they want to produce biodiesel abroad, where feedstocks and production is more competitive.
PZERO launches biogas fuel cell initiative in EU
Earlier we reported on the growing interest in biogas powered solid oxide (SOFC) and molten carbonate (MCFC) fuel cells, which offer energy systems with unparalleled efficiency and ultra-low carbon emissions (here, here and here). PZERO Limited, a UK-based green service company now launches a biogas initiative that will assist companies to create low-carbon electricity at the point of use, both reducing their emissions footprint and delivering energy security, by relying on such fuel cells.
PZERO offers a free biogas cogeneration suitability evaluation to EU companies to demonstrate how waste biogas can cost effectively be converted to low-carbon electricity and heat using fuel cell CHP (combined heat and power) technology.
Biogas is a methane rich gas created from decomposing organic mater. It naturally occurs where organic waste breaks down; in sewage farms, waste disposal sites (landfill tips), in breweries and from animal waste, and is hence regarded as 100% renewable. All too often, this greenhouse gas that is 21 times more potent than carbon dioxide (CO2), escapes unchecked into the atmosphere or is flared off for safety.
The PZERO evaluation methodology is based upon recent work PZERO conducted on behalf of water utility companies that specified fuel cell solutions compatible with sewage anaerobic digesters, which output biogas. PZERO believes the compelling results should be made widely available, particularly to local authorities, waste management companies, water utilities, farm cooperatives and breweries:
bioenergy :: energy :: sustainability :: biogas :: fuel cell :: climate change :: greenhouse gas emissions :: combined heat-and-power :: cogeneration ::
"Where there's muck there's low carbon fuel," said Richard Bennett, CEO. "Biogas is a 100% renewable fuel that can be processed by a fuel cell to create low-carbon heat and electricity - reducing emissions footprints and delivering energy security."
PZERO expects to identify biogas opportunities that are suitable for onsite cogeneration. PZERO will further offer to purchase, install and operate the biogas fuel cell plant, and enter into local agreements to supply low-carbon heat and electricity at competitive rates.
Approximately 30% of greenhouse emissions come from the farming sector and a further 30% from electricity production. It is widely argued that distributed cogeneration solutions will genuinely reduce greenhouse gas emissions and deliver localised energy security. UK Government energy white papers have repeatedly called for an increase in cogeneration plants to help combat global warming and provide security of electricity supply.
