DBFZ accompanies World Bank project for the construction of six biogas plants in China
To improve the quality of biogas plants in China, six biogas plants will be supported with know-how and technology "Made in Germany" in a project partly funded by the World Bank. The high-profile international expert group for the scientific supervision of the project is headed by Prof. Dr. mont. Michael Nelles, the scientific managing director of the DBFZ.
With around 70 million euros, the World Bank participates in the construction of a total of six biogas plants in Hebei province, China. Together with scientists from the China University of Petroleum - Beijing (CUPB), the 20-Member group of experts under the direction of Prof. Dr. Michael Nelles (DBFZ/University of Rostock) and Dr. Walter Stinner (DBFZ) takes over the scientific supervision of the project, which is expected to be completed in 2021. The planned six biogas plants can process both manure and organic wastes as well as residues and represent model solutions for the future environmentally friendly disposal system in the province. Moreover, they will contribute significantly to the province’s greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals. The digestate from biogas production will be applied in cascade use as a secondary fertiliser in the regional agriculture. Over 100,000 households in the region will be provided with energy produced by the six planned biogas plants.
