2nd COASTAL Biogas conference and study tour to Solrød

The 2nd COASTAL Biogas conference takes place 13 November at Roskilde University, Denmark. The next day (14 Nov) there is a study tour to Solrød biogas plant. Solrød is the only facility in the Baltic Sea region (perhaps in the world) where cast seaweed is co-digested in industrial scale.

The conference including the lunch and the coffee breaks and the study tour are free of charge but limited to 50 participants.

Meeting with Port of Simrishamn’s Director

BEIC visited the Port of Simrishamn’s Director, Fredrik von Segebaden, together with Klas Göthe, Boad Member of Biogas Österlen on the 17th of October.

Jörgen Held, BEIC, presented the COASTAL Biogas project where cast seaweed will be collected and put in to an anaerobic digestor to produce biogas and bio-fertiliser.

Different ideas related to collection methods and utilization were further discussed.

BEIC WP-leader in COASTAL Biogas

Baltic Energy Innovation Centre (BEIC) is a full partner and a WP-leader within the COASTAL Biogas proposal submitted on the 19th of December to the South Baltic Sea Programme.

COASTAL stands for Cluster On Anaerobic Digestion, Environmental Services and NuTrients RemovAL, and is focused on anaerobic digestion of cast seaweed in combination with digestate utilization as bio-fertilizer.

The project consortium consists of 20 partners out of which 6 are full project partners and WP-leaders;
FNR (DE) – lead partner
Gdansk University of Technology (PL)
Baltic Energy Innovation Centre (SE)
Rostock University (DE)
Roskilde University (DK)
Lithuanian Energy Institute (LT)

The proposed budget is close to 1.6 MEUR and covers lab scale and pilot testing, best practice and lessons learned, feasibility studies in close collaboration with partners able to implement the investigated technology and massive dissemination activities including 5 conferences and study tours.

Expected project start is 1 July 2018 and project end 30 June 2021.
