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 Finasucre’s sugar production process which contributes to sustainable sugar manufacturing and a greater independency of fossil natural gas.
