Biogas becomes an Alternative to Conventional Fossil Energy

August 1st, 2011

Expert state, over the next two decades renewable energy generation will be the fastest-growing energy sector. In course of 2010-2016, the market is expected to rise from 124 billion USD to 217 billion USD in 2016. In 2010 global market for biogas plant equipment was worth 3 billion USD. It’s estimated at 8.6 billion USD by 2016, rising at a 5-year compound annual growth rate of 19.4%.

Acceleration of development of non-fossil fuel is caused by price volatility, supply concerns and environmental aspects of fossil fuels. At this point, the price of oil on the world market has reached 100 USD per barrel. Renewable domestic energy supplies are seen as a way to overcome these problems, while biogas, a clean fuel derived primarily from waste materials, becomes an important alternative to conventional fossil energy.

The need to responsibly recycle large volumes of waste and the requirement to procure sustainable, secure energy supplies are two major issues facing governments and industries around the globe. The production of biogas from a number of waste streams (i.e. agricultural, livestock, industrial, landfills etc.) addresses both of these challenges.
Anaerobic digestion offers the most sustainable conversion process. In addition, the technology can be tailored to suit waste streams of all volumes, systems may be sized for use in households, commercial enterprises, utilities and industry.

EU and Ukraine Enhance Cooperation in Alternative Energy Production

April 15th, 2010

According to information provided by RBK-Ukraine, EU increases the amount of biogas production by 20% per year. In half of the cases, fumes of city dumpsters serve as the source for biogas production. Meanwhile biogas plants for recycling of organic waste, employed by EU countries, are developed and designed in Ukraine, such as biogas projects by “EcoGen SIA” (Latvia). Furthermore, European countries outside EU also seek the benefits of working with Ukrainian experts. Biogas plant to be constructed in Moldova by Ukrainian construction company “ZORG Ukraine” is going to be among the country’s largest.

In course of the first few days of 2010, “ZORG Ukraine” signed two new contracts for construction of biogas plants with Latvian company “EcoGen SIA.” “EcoGen SIA” is already in possession of one biogas plant, built by “ZORG Ukraine” in 2009. Its electrical capacity reaches 1 MW. As planned, two new biogas plants will use corn silo and grain and will have the capacities of 1 MW and 0,5 MW. “ZORG Ukraine” is currently developing an engineering plan for biogas plants. The dates for the construction work have not yet been established.

In February 2010, Moldavian company “BioEnergAgro” singed a 10 mln. Euro contract with “ZORG Ukraine” for construction of a biogas plant. The plant will process 320 tons of corn silo per day. Biogas will then be purified to the stage of natural gas according to GOST 5542-87. “BioEnergAgro” plans to supply 16 mln. m3 of methane into national gas pipeline network per year.

Ukrainian biogas market has the potential of 25-30 milliards Euro. Due to a number of biogas plants, built by Ukrainian experts in course of 2009, the dynamic growth of alternative energy production in Ukraine is currently higher in comparison to any country, member of European Union. At this point, the sales turnover of Ukrainian biogas companies is relatively limited – around 3-4 mln. Euro, yet experts claim, in 2011 total cost of biogas plants in the process of construction will be 50-70 mln. Euro per annum.

About ZORG:

ZORG executes full range of engineering services within biogas industry. The company designs and builds biogas plants under German state-of-art technology and know-how license.

ZORG works on a global scale: company’s projects have been successfully implemented in Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Latvia, and Turkey.

Get all the updates about renewable energy at New Energy Portal

November 16th, 2009

The vision of New Energy Portal (NEP) is to support development, growth and networking in all areas of green and renewable energy. The goal of NEP is to de-monopolize power generation, to help the people worldwide in finding ways to cover energy demands by individual and affordable renewable energy devices and ultimately help the world reach 100% green energy generation permanently for the entire planet.

Furthermore, we want to support private, public and large scale renewable energy generation projects in order to cover as much energy usage with green technologies as possible. To achieve this, NEP provides information and news about renewable energy which includes global renewable energy production and an insight view into the technological development trends.

In practical terms NEP has a news section, including regularly updated news from the Renewable Energy World, an information section with basic and advanced articles about the different Renewable Energy Technologies and Systems, an E-book Section with Do-It-Yourself guides for easy renewable energy applications and an international platform for the promotion of Renewable Energy Sources and Products. The platform consists of an international company listing to foster communication and grow networks for renewable energy projects. 20% of the profits generated by NEP will be donated back into different projects in the area of renewable energy research and development.

NEP uses a three tier approach. Firstly to help home owners to find useful information on renewable energy sources and support them in finding local companies that can install complete systems at their homes. Secondly, Small to Medium Enterprises (SME) can promote their products and services in the Company Listings. There is a weekly update on SMEs, their products and services, as well as a free Press Release feature. Thirdly, there is an advanced international Company Listing for manufacturers, suppliers and wholesalers of installation systems and components where SMEs can find suppliers and suppliers can find buyers for their products.

Feel free to check out our site and give us your comments about your outlook on the world of renewable energies. If you are a Small to Medium Enterprise, doing business in the developing world, we are looking forward on promoting your company by adding your company profile under our “featured article” category onto our homepage.

Let’s work together today for a greener tomorrow!
