This Task Force of the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability is proposing a project entitled "Technical and Economic Study for the Creation of a Biogas Plant Using Waste from a Pig Slaughterhouse and Innovative Strategies for the Subsequent Utilization of the Generated Gases."
The purpose of this project is to study the technical and economic feasibility of a future biogas plant that uses some of the waste and byproducts generated in a slaughterhouse as raw material.
The biogas generated is intended to contribute to the facility's thermal self-consumption. Additionally, the innovative strategy is proposed to recover the CO2 contained in the biogas for reuse in the production process.
To achieve these objectives, a collaboration is planned with a research center responsible for studying the biogas potential of Mafrica's waste, and an energy company responsible for implementing the project.
The byproducts generated in the production process are biodegradable and have a high potential for generating biogas with a high methane content.
Managing byproducts in a biogas plant allows for economic savings in external waste management costs.
The biogas generated also covers a large part of the slaughterhouse's thermal energy demand, reducing the current dependence on fossil fuels.
