Bigger is better - German biogas plant holds lead worldwide.

 
It’s all about (completing) visionary cycles, at least at NAWARO.
This company not only started building the biggest biogas plant ever in the German province of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (to be finished and all running by fall 2007). NAWARO is also the first in Germany to develop a business concept for generating energy from biogas on an industrial scale.
 
Topping it all, the young company manages to include and use all products and by products (the latter to produce biofertilizer) till….literally nothing is left than pure water. All in all: a closed cycle.
Behind it stands the vision that electricity from biogas can play an integral part of the energy market worldwide – if produced the right and most efficient way.
 

The vision is backed up by numbers: German biogas units produced 2.9 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity in 2005, or about three times as much electricity as the amount supplied by photo tovoltaic solar cells. The new plant promises to push biomass energy to new levels - using all of its standardized modules it will generate electricity with a total capacity of 20 megawatt. That's the demand of a small city. The electricity generated at NAWARO is fed into the power grid.
 

The NAWARO concept appeals - nationally as well as internationally. But NAWARO plans first to complete the project phase in Germany - before conquering the worldwide market.
