EnviTec Biogas wins major contract from BKN biostrom:
Innovative project covers the full bandwidth of biogas use
Lohne, 22 October 2009 - EnviTec Biogas AG (ISIN: DE000A0MVLS8), Lohne,
Germany, has been contracted by BKN biostrom AG for the planning and
building of biogas plants in Germany with a total electrical output of 4.5
megawatts (MW). The contract has a total volume of more than EUR 10
million.
The main part of the contract is the execution of a project in Guben,
Brandenburg, where a Biogas plant with a total electrical output of 3.5
megawatts (MW) will be erected. Renewable resources will be used as input
materials. After the preparation into natural gas quality, the plant will
feed six million cubic metres of biogas per year into the public grid for
the decentral use as electricity and heat. In addition, EnviTec Biogas
delivers several combined heat-and-power plants which will be installed in
Guben and cover the heat requirements of almost 4,000 households. The
construction is planned to start in the beginning of 2010. 'The technology,
to use the upgraded biogas decentrally through local grids and not to
produce electricity where the plant is located, expands the application
possibilities of biogas even further,' says Günter Schlotmann, COO of BKN
biostrom. 'We are happy that BKN has chosen us for this ambitious project.
Biogas is the most efficient renewable energy. That is what we exemplify at
this site impressively,' says Kunibert Ruhe, Chief Technology Officer of
EnviTec Biogas. 'Biogas has a lot of potential, especially as an
environmentally friendly option for natural gas and EnviTec is a leading
player in this market.' In addition to the major project, EnviTec will
deliver two biogas plants with an electrical output of 500 kilowatt each.
EnviTec Biogas AG covers the entire value chain for the production of
biogas - including the planning and turnkey construction of biogas plants
as well as their commissioning. The company provides the biological and
technical service and also offers the full plant and operating management.
In Güstrow, in the German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, EnviTec
built the world's largest plant for the production of biogas to natural gas
standards with a thermal output of 55 megawatts. In addition, the company
also operates its own biogas plants. Today, the company is represented in
more than 15 countries throughout Europe and as well in China and South
Korea. In 2008 EnviTec generated revenues of EUR 101 million and EBIT of
EUR 3.2 million. The EnviTec Group currently has about 377 employees. Since
July 2007 EnviTec is listed on the Prime Standard segment of the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange.
