Lieu

• Chine

Description

The proposed operation aims to construct 20 similar anaerobic digestion biogas units across Shanxi Province in China that would utilise agricultural residues (e.g. corn stover) and livestock manure to produce biomethane and organic fertilisers.

Objectifs

The primary objective of the project is environment protection through the generation of renewable energy from agricultural residues (e.g. corn stover) and livestock manure. The proposed operation is expected to produce approximately 140 million Nm3 of biomethane and 800 000 tons of digestate to be used as organic fertiliser, per year. The project aims at reducing the share of fossil-based energy sources (coal, natural gas) in the energy mix by promoting biomass to energy, as well as supporting the creation of jobs in rural areas, which could contribute to a green post COVID-19 economic recovery. In addition, the operation will further contribute to climate change mitigation and reduce the environmental pollution caused by the burning of agriculture residues in the fields of Shanxi province.
