Worcester, Southern Africa

Creating a sustainable partnership

The Worcester waste-to-value plant in Southern Africa is designed to produce methane-rich biogas from wastewater received by a nearby poultry processing facility. The energy generated from this biogas is exported back to the neighbouring facility, creating a sustainable partnership in doing so.

Specifics

The biogas is upgraded and utilised to generate energy in combined heat and power units. The remaining wastewater is treated and can be safely discharged into the sewer.

  • The Worcester W2V plant treats up to 3,000m3 of raw abattoir effluent per day
  • It can generate up to 1.55MW of electricity and 836kW of thermal energy
  • The plant is capable of running in island mode to continue providing power when the local grid falls away.

Our green solutions

We produce biogas that we upgrade into many useful energy forms, such as biomethane, bio LNG and renewable energy. During the process of making biogas, we convert the surplus into by-products such as organic fertilisers.

Biomethane

The biofuel biomethane is a unique renewable alternative to natural gas. To create this biofuel, we use mainly manure and some organic waste streams.

Bio LNG

Bio LNG is liquified biomethane and has a far lower impact on the environment. This biofuel is completely made from organic streams.

Renewable Energy

We have the innovative capability to turn biomethane into electricity and heat. We create renewable electricity and heat in large Combine Heat and Power (CHP).

Ammonium Sulphate

After producing the biomethane, we strip the ammonia that is released during the biomethane process from the system and transform it into ammonium sulphate.

Organic Fertiliser

After producing methane, there is still a product left high in nutrients. We dry this product and press it into pellets or granules thus producing organic fertiliser.

Biogenic CO2

During the process of turning biogas into usable products, we release biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2). This is a result of the combustion or decomposition of organic material.

Tigane, Southern Africa

Our first waste-to-value plant

The Tigane waste-to-value plant in Southern Africa is a semi-circular plant. It derives methane-rich biogas from the wastewater generated at the neighbouring poultry processing facility. This biogas is used to generate energy in the form of heat, creating a sustainable heat source for the same neighbouring facility. This project was developed and operated by Green Create prior to ownership being transferred to another party.

Specifics

What’s left of the wastewater at the plant is treated such that it can be safely discharged into the municipal network. A portion of the wastewater is treated further for re-utilisation as grey water at the poultry processing facility. The Tigane plant was our first plant and served as our proof of concept. It was our springboard onto the larger biomethane facilities we’re building today.

  • The Tigane W2V plant treats up to 1,500m3 of raw abattoir effluent per day and generates 400kW of thermal energy.

Holwerd, Netherlands

Sustainable energy for households in the Netherlands

The Holwerd waste-to-value plant is our first biogas plant in the Netherlands, founded in 2018. It’s designed to create sustainable biomethane, which is being introduced into the national grid for households’ energy consumption in the Netherlands.

Specifics

The biogas used to create biomethane, is made from a mixture of livestock manures and other co-products. Via an anaerobic digestion process, we upgrade the biogas to biomethane. The degistate is separated into thin liquid and solid digestate fractions by means of a decanter. Both fractions are further processed and re-utilized as fertilizer.

  • We have produced 3,200,000 m3 of biogas of which 13.500 MWh were injected into the Dutch gas grid providing gas to 1650 households.
  • Since the upgrade, the installed capacity is 2.5MW.
  • We have processed 32,000 tonnes of feedstock (mix of co-products and manure).
  • Liquids are stored on-site and used for fertilizer on local farming lands.
  • Solids undergo further treatment offsite where it is dried and reused as fertiliser.

Ghent, Belgium

The largest venture into providing low carbon fuel to the transport sector

The Ghent Waste-to-Value Plant is our largest venture into providing low carbon fuel to the transport sector, whilst addressing a major challenge in sustainably treating manure and organic waste streams. The manure comes from farms across Flanders as well as surrounding industrial players.

The plant is designed to produce methane-rich biogas from the biological conversion of poultry manure. This will be upgraded to produce up to 60 tons per day of bio LNG. After the digestion process, the digestate will be stripped of nitrogen to produce a crystallised ammonium sulphate fertiliser stream. All solid digestate will be dried and pelletised for sales globally.

  • The project makes use of an additional waste heat source from the neighbouring titanium dioxide plant to improve the carbon intensity of the installation.

Green Create was first operational in Southern Africa

We own and operate three waste-to-value plants in South Africa with over 12MW of installed biogas production capacity. The biogas is upgraded into various forms of energy using combined heat and power units. The plants use poultry manure and poultry processing waste.

“Green Create started its first operations in South Africa and the plants continue to be crucial elements of the business. Major challenges with infrastructure in South Africa have elevated the importance of these waste-to-value facilities necessitating expansions and upgrades in the years to come.”

– Alister Inglesby, Chief Executive Officer

  • Over 7 ML of wastewater is treated daily across the portfolio.
  • The plants convert more than 200 tons of poultry manure and poultry processing waste into energy per day.
  • More than 200 tons per day of solid and liquid fertilisers are produced.
  • Up to 2 ML of processed water is returned to the industry on a daily basis to reduce the requirements for freshwater uses at the industrial operations.

Methane-rich biogas production from the fish processing industry

The Mauritius waste-to-value plant known as Energie Des Mascareignes (EDM), is designed to receive various industrial wastewater streams as a feedstock for the production of methane-rich biogas. The biogas is upgraded and distributed to the local industry for use in steam production.

Specifics

After digestion, the wastewater is further treated to recover phosphorus and remove nitrogen for safe discharge into the local municipal discharge point. Phosphate fertiliser recovered from the wastewater will be used as a fertiliser on the local lands. EDM is a pioneering project for the Island of Mauritius and has a significant impact on the local environment

  • The wastewater comes from multiple industrial effluent streams from the fish processing industry.
  • The plant uses anaerobic digestion in conjunction with phosphate precipitation and nitrogen removal.
  • EDM produces 7MW of biomethane.

The largest anaerobic digestion plant in Europe to process 100% poultry manure

The Wijster waste-to-value plant in the Netherlands is designed to produce methane-rich biogas from the biological conversion of poultry manure. We process 136.500 tons of poultry manure a year. The manure is received from broiler and egg-laying farms across the Netherlands. This project is another building block in our journey to create value from waste and to do our part in helping create a sustainable greener future.

Specifics

The biogas will be utilised to produce 3.0 MW of electricity and 3.1 MW of thermal energy. 27.0 MW of biomethane will be produced for injection into the local gas network. After the digestion process, the digestate will be stripped of nitrogen to produce a liquid fertiliser stream. All solid digestate will be dried and pelletised for sales globally.

  • First gas to grid May 2022 – fully operational since October 2022.
  • 36,8 million m3 of biogas, of which 235.000 MWh is injected into the Dutch gas grid. And has the capacity to export 26.000 MWh of electrical energy.
  • During the process, the plant produces <-70 gCO2/MJ carbon-negative biomethane.
  • High-quality fertilizers and ammonium sulphate from the by-products to enhance the closed-loop process.
