3. Report 2013
The conference
A high-level International Conference with
simultaneous translation, over two days allowed
the 250 participants to obtain industry updates
and key insights on a full range of topics pertaining
to biowastes and biomethane.
On Thursday 21st and during the morning of the 22nd, visitors and
exhibitors alike took advantage of the online business meetings platform,
an opportunity to multiply the professional contacts made during the
exhibition, organised in collaboration with the CCI Pays de la Loire / Europe
Enterprise Network.
Study tour
The first dry discontinuous anaerobic digestion unit in concrete digester
garages, was visited during the exhibition. This facility operating since early 2013 will eventually
process 2700 tons of matter per year (manure, intermediary crops, cereal waste). The biogas produced
supplies a 55 kWe and 75 kWth cogeneration engine. Electricity is fed into the national grid. Heat supplies a
wood drier. Digestate is totally used as fertiliser on the farm.
