Description

XOGO operates in the renewable energy sources (RES) industry, producing electric energy from agricultural biogas and supplying about 2,000 MWh of electric energy to the electric grid per year. The biogas is obtained in the process of methane fermentation of substrates from the agrifood industry.

The purpose of the project is to implement our own technology of drying sludge waste with waste heat generated by the combustion of biomass from digestate produced in the biogas plant. This will allow us to provide disposal services and produce biomass for energy generation purposes. Thanks to development works carried out under the project, the process of drying and aggregating sediments will be optimised. The project covers the construction of a technical and production facility, and investments in a PV system and other equipment.

The project will decrease our annual CO2 emissions by 1,724 tons, and reduce the annual electric energy consumption by 2.26 GWh.
