Biogas- and water treatment plants are now able to produce electric power from biogas and deliver it directly to consumers over the grid. A revolutionizing micro power plant, the XRGI, has been developed and approved to produce electricity from biogas, and this gives new opportunities for the biogas- and water treatment plants.
With a guarantee for effect and low service expenses Biogas- and water treatment plants now can produce power to cover the plants own consumption and supply the grid with 100 pct. CO2-neutral power.

“The technology is now so mature that power production from Biogas- and water treatment plants is very interesting - both economically and from an environmental point of view. XRGI has been designed to run at least 30.000 hours without any repairs, and service is only to be done every 4.000 hours. This gives extremely low operating costs. ,” says Bjarne Bogner, CEO of EC Power, the company that developed the technology behind the XRGI-systems.

The core in the XRGI is a motor developed in corporation with Toyota. It combusts many types of biogas, even low quality gas, with a very high efficiency. The result is heat and power, which can be used locally or distributed by the grid to consumers.

At the moment, combined heat and power plant (CHP) is under political attention since the European Commission has agreed to promote this type of plants because of its economical and environmental benefits. Furthermore XRGI systems secure the energy supply with environmental friendly heat and power.
