The production of electricity via anaerobic digestion and biogas is enjoying a renewed lease on life. M.A.V. nv is the company responsible for building a large scale biogas plant located in the port area of Gent, Belgium. The result of the process is a daily production of 30000 – 40000 m3 of biogas which has a gross energy content of 160 – 230 MWh. The biogas is used for the production of electricity, steam and hotwater. The plant produces about 40 tonnes per day of solid material, effectively fertilizer, in a granular form.
