A biogas project at Verallia Deutschland’s Bad Wurzach, Germany site is beginning to take shape.
Various preliminary plans have been completed and there will now be a long-term test of biogas supply to the site.
Verallia Deutschland Energy Manager Simone Spielmann said: “To the best of our knowledge, the site is still the first glass factory worldwide which will use unprocessed raw biogas in an industrial primary process.”
She added that it is a fascinating project ‘with which the ecological sustainability of our company can be secured.’
The biogas supply will be tested for the next six months. So far about 50% of the site’s fossil fuel consumption has been replaced by biogas.
