In December 2009, ESCO Lazio was authorized to build and operate its first biogas plant with a power of 1MW located in Latina in Borgo Bainsizza. An agricultural company called "Agri Power Plus Srl" was set up for the construction and management of the plant, in which we hold the majority stake (73%). The biogas produced by the plant, which is able to provide thermal and electrical energy to about 1500 families, is obtained from the controlled anaerobic fermentation of organic raw materials: silage of specially cultivated cereals, integrated with animal waste from local farms and by-products agricultural products available on the territory, such as pomace. The cereal silages are largely produced by the same agricultural company Agri Power Plus, and the rest purchased from local farms. This is the first biogas plant in cogeneration mode authorized in the province of Latina and the largest authorized in the Lazio region. The Agri Power Plus company currently cultivates approximately 140 hectares of land on two lots near the site where the plant is under construction. The plant went into operation in November 2011 and annually produces 6,700,000 kWh (net of the fermenters' needs) thermal which are used for heating the greenhouses of the company of Selecta Italia, a company of the Selecta World Group, in addition to about 7,800. 000 KWh of electricity which are instead sold to the National Electricity Grid Operator. La produzione di energia elettrica ed energia termica prodotte dal biogas comporta una riduzione diretta delle emissioni di anidride carbonica in atmosfera di circa 7.700 tonnellate l'anno. L'importante conseguenza è la riduzione del consumo di combustibile fossile, con positive ricadute ambientali. Dalla "digestione controllata" dell'impianto a biogas si ricava, oltre all'elettricità ed al calore, un sottoprodotto simile ad un "limo" molto fertile, inodore, che torna ai terreni per sostituire in tutte le future coltivazioni i fertilizzanti chimici. Il costo dell'intervento è di circa 5 milioni di euro ed è stato realizzato in project financing dal Monte dei Paschi di Siena Capital Service. Tecnologia For the Borgo Bainsizza plant, we have chosen ENVITEC Biogas, one of the main German companies that build biogas plants in the world, as a technological partner.
