Reynolds Indiana, USA, September 2021. Clarke Energy USA, Inc., a KOHLER Company, announces the agreement with BioTown Biogas to design, supply and install a biogas upgrading plant generating biomethane for the national gas grid, with the inclusion of a biogas engine generating renewable electricity and heat in Indiana.
BioTown AG is an existing renewable energy business with a long track record of success in the sector. BioTown is expanding into the generation of biogas to be cleaned to gas grid injection standards as biomethane.
Five farming groups from the locality close to the plant will supply agricultural waste feedstock for the digesters. This will help to reduce emissions from the farms and provide the 500-600,000 gallons per day of slurry from approximately 25,000 milking cows equivalent, for the biogas plant to operate on.
The biogas from the digesters will be used for two functions – firstly 460 scfm of treated biogas will fuel the INNIO engine to generate renewable electricity and heat to support the local operations. In addition, over 1,500 scfm of raw biogas will be cleaned and injected into the national gas grid where it will be marketed into the California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program and capturing D3 Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs). The installation enables the avoidance of 150,000 tons per annum of carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere.
The system will be delivered as part of a turnkey solution to the customer, backed up by Clarke Energy’s established local service network.
