Do you have the same question, the same doubts as so many others? We were asked: Why is there a plus of 35% on the biogas yield at SLP biogas plants? What is the source of the biogas yield figures? What is the basis of the calculation? The biogas yield figures are…
This is a frequently asked questions of potential customers. Most of them have no experience with thermophilic operation and none of them with hyper-thermophilic operation of biogas plants. Many are often informed that temperature has a negligible impact on biogas yield, with such information commonly provided by sales representatives of single-stage biogas plants. These individuals…
Maybe you know Snow Leopard, our story and our biological process. Maybe you have asked yourself, how Snow Leopard can achieve those biogas yields that they are claiming. We´ve been asked so many times how we can explain or prove that our pre-treatment with Batch Hydrolysis in hyper-thermophilic mode saves 20% and more feedstock for…
The so-called profit skimming for energy producers is currently under discussion. The government and its officials want to collect the “exorbitant” “windfall profits”. All for the good of the people, of course.
Biogas plants included. But there, REVENUE is to be skimmed off.
If I wanted to sabotage the energy transition, I would skim off biogas plants too.
Income from heat sales is becoming more and more important, because feedstock costs are rising while the EEG feed-in tariff stays the same. Many biogas plant operators are caught in the “feedstock cost trap”. The electricity price can hardly be raised. And feedstock costs can hardly be lowered. Only more heat can be used or sold.
The SLP team has compiled the most frequent questions from biogas plant operators and other SMEs in a compact format.
If you are thinking about applying for BAFA funding for your upcoming investments, download the list of frequently asked questions (FAQ).
You know that there is more biogas in your feedstock than you are getting out.
As long as you can still separate out solids or have a floating layer, there is still biogas potential left.
With the Kalle Rave effect you get a few more percent of biogas out of your feedstock.
Like many other biogas plant operators, you are probably wondering how to carry on. The end of the 20-year EEG period, the Fertiliser Ordinance and the maize cap are just some of the keywords.
It’s not much fun at the moment, many biogas plant operators tell me.
Changes and investments are due.
