Organic waste biogas plant in Fontenoy, BE
At Isera & Scaldis Sugar's factory in Belgium, organic waste is aligned with the factory's heat demand. The biogas plant produces renewable energy from sugar beet residues during the sugar beet campaign.
Biogas from sugar waste
Utilizing beet residues, the biogas plant produces biogas and bio-fertilizer. This project transformed beet residuals, such as beet tops, into renewable energy. After a pretreatment, the biogas is directly applied in Isera & Scaldis Sugar’s production process which contributes to sustainable sugar manufacturing and a greater independency of fossil natural gas.
