Climate Change

Sustainable solution to biofuel production

This year Wrights Farming Register is inviting representatives of the farming, conservation and biofuels industries to share their views of the challenges that climate change presents. This month Tim Evans, managing director of Lincolnshire-based company Renewable Zukunft Ltd, writes about biogas production. With 15 years’ renewables experience, Tim was involved with the first east German biodiesel plant in 1994. A fluent German speaker with a background in accountancy, rural property and farm business consultancy, he farmed a 3000ha arable and dairy business in the former East Germany and is a director of Bio-G Biogastechnik GmbH in Austria.

A UK farmer-led renewable energy company has formed an innovative partnership with Austrian biogas experts to provide
a sustainable and profitable 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.

“Importantly, the carbon neutral Bio-G Energy Ring system contributes to an overall reduction in greenhouse gases, making it an environmentally sustainable method of bioenergy generation,” said Renewable Zukunft director Tim Evans.

He explained: “Our research in Europe and USA led us to our Austrian partner, the company which designed the Bio-G Energy Ring system and built its first biogas plant in 2003.

“What convinced us to invest in the Bio-G (Biogastechnik) partnership is the proven engine efficiency and extremely high engine operating hours of the Energy Ring system. The Bio-G system has consistently achieved over 8700 operating hours a year.

That’s 97 per cent up-time, it doesn’t get much better than that,” he continued.
