The set assignment
Biogenic gases play an important role in reducing the climate footprint.
Biogenic gases occur during the fermentation and decomposition of organic matter under anaerobic conditions – such as manure, sewage sludge, food waste and other biological waste products.
Using biogenic gases from waste for energy production ensures a state of net-zero CO2 emissions. The CO2
is captured by the biomass before you use it as an energy source, which means that the carbon is circulated
in short cycles. This achieves a balance between the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere and theamount of carbon removed from the atmosphere.
Biogenic gases consist mainly of methane, which is also the main component of natural gas. Methane is ahigh-quality fuel, but also 20-40 times more climate-damaging than CO2. Even small amounts of methanecause a significant greenhouse effect. Methane must therefore be combusted to reduce its climate impact.

The XRGI® BIOGENIC from EC POWER creates a circular and sustainable energy system.
With more than 25 years of experience, EC POWER is Europe’s leading manufacturer of combined heatand power (CHP) units in its class. Our XRGI® units offer a constant high degree of utilisation, making thisa cost-effective energy technology.
EC POWER’s CHP expertise forms the foundations of XRGI® BIOGENIC, which runs on biogenic gases togenerate heat and power on-site. XRGI® BIOGENIC can be used wherever biogenic gases are created andcaptured. This happens primarily in agriculture, wastewater treatment, food waste recycling, and landfills.
Filtering the biogenic gases before use enables the XRGI® BIOGENIC to run on many different gas qualities.

The four wins
Green electricity on-site:
The biogenic gases from your waste product are burned in the highly efficient engineof the XRGI® BIOGENIC. The engine runs a generator which produces electrical power.

Green heat on-site:
Heat arises as a by-product in the XRGI® BIOGENIC. This heat is returned to the biogas
plant to ensure the correct temperature for the fermentation process, high gas yields,
and good process stability.

Fertilizer

High-quality fertiliser:
The residual biomass is a better-quality fertiliser and much less problematic for soils andwaters than the original raw manure. It is more easily absorbed by plants, which ensuresless nitrate seeps into the aquatic environment.

Less smell from the biomass:
The residual biomass does not smell as strong as raw manure; the organic compounds
that smell have been degassed during the biogenic gas production.

XRGI
BIOGENIC

Animal waste is a substantial untapped resource for energy production.
With the XRGI® BIOGENIC, you can turn manure and other organic waste
products into energy.
Two cows produce approximately 40 m3 of manure slurry a year. Degassing
this manure slurry in a biogas plant and using the biogenic gases in the XRGI®
BIOGENIC generates more than enough electricity to cover one person’s yearly
electricity consumption in the EU.

Wastewater treatment plants account for a significant share of the total electricity demand in municipalities. XRGI® BIOGENIC generates electricity on-site,
supplying a substantial share of your wastewater treatment facility‘s electricity demand. Furthermore, heat is produced concurrently to heat the digester.
This reduces your operating costs.
Using the biogenic gases in XRGI® BIOGENIC ensures an effective use of thiswastewater treatment by-product and replaces fossil fuels. This lowers the climate impact of your wastewater treatment facility.

Organic waste is the largest of all waste categories globally. With XRGI®
BIOGENIC, you can tap into this considerable waste-to-energy resource.
Unused food has a significant environmental impact; letting food go to waste
is responsible for 8-10% of global greenhouse gas emissions, according to theUNEP Food Waste Index Report 2021.
Food loss and waste happens at all points during the food production value chain: in agriculture, food processing, supermarkets, restaurants, hotels,and households. We cannot completely remove food waste, and therefore it
is important to use our food waste effectively. The biogenic gases from thedecomposition of food waste are put to good use as a renewable fuel in XRGI®
BIOGENIC, reducing your carbon footprint.
