BIOGEST has been contracted to build a biomethane plant in Sisak, Croatia for INA by 2026. The plant will use PowerRing technology to convert agricultural waste into biomethane and organic fertilizer. This project aims to contribute to Croatia's green energy transition and reduce methane emissions from agricultural operations. BIOGEST's CEO, Martin Schlerka, expressed excitement about the collaboration with INA and highlighted the potential of biomethane as a sustainable fuel source. The plant's production of high-quality organic fertilizer will also help reduce the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture. Biomethane is the only renewable energy source that can be carbon-negative.
VIENNA, AUSTRIA / ZAGREB, CROATIA: BIOGEST received an order as a general contractor to build a biomethane plant for INA in Sisak, central Croatia, including site preparation by 2026. The biomethane produced in Sisak could be delivered to Croatia's gas system, while the residue remaining from the production could be used as an ecologically acceptable fertilizer.
Located in Sisak, the project will be carried out in the tried and tested BIOGEST PowerRing technology, which has advantages regarding energy efficiency and operational safety as well as the space-saving modular design, underscoring its suitability and effectiveness for the Croatian market. During fermentation of mostly agricultural residues (straw, manure, slurry, and different types of biodegradable waste), the residues are transformed into high-quality organic fertilizer that substitutes for chemical products.
"We are thrilled to collaborate with INA Group on this biomethane project in Croatia. Our innovative PowerRing technology will play a vital role in transforming agricultural waste into renewable energy, contributing to the country's green energy transition and showing the potential of biomethane as a sustainable fuel source,” remarked BIOGEST’s CEO, Martin Schlerka.
Biomethane is the only renewable energy source that can be carbon-negative, as it significantly reduces methane emissions from agricultural operations. BIOGEST’s plants produce not only pipeline-quality green gas but also an organic fertilizer that helps reduce the use of chemical fertilizers in agriculture.
