About us :
It is important to us that our electricity comes from responsible sources. That's why we produce it ourselves. How? With a biogas plant and over 5000 m² of photovoltaics on our roofs. The green electricity generated is mainly fed into the grid and a small part goes directly to our company. That is why we can proudly say: We produce 100% with our own green electricity.

About us :
It is important to us that our electricity comes from responsible sources. That's why we produce it ourselves. How? With a biogas plant and over 5000 m² of photovoltaics on our roofs. The green electricity generated is mainly fed into the grid and a small part goes directly to our company. That is why we can proudly say: We produce 100% with our own green electricity. Without long transport routes, this is how a biogas plant works:

Our biogas plant has been on the grid since 2011. By adding manure from our cows, corn and rye from our fields, biogas is produced in the fermenter. This biogas is used to generate electricity via the generator. We sell this electricity to the public grid. The remaining fermentation substrate is a valuable fertilizer that we apply on our fields. This means that we need significantly less artificial fertilizer for plant cultivation. We deliver the heat that is produced during the generation of electricity to the distribution station in the village. From there, the warm water is pumped through the whole village. Our own house and some company buildings are also supplied with this heat. We are participating in the project: 'Bio-Energy Village Bollewick'. Our biogas plant produces electricity for around 1130 four-person households a year. At the same time, enough heat to heat almost 80 households. Like natural gas, biogas is a gas mixture that mainly consists of methane. Microorganisms form it when they convert plants, manure or slurry. Biogas is also produced in sewage treatment plants or on landfills. For energetic use, the biogas is now converted into electricity and heat in so-called combined heat and power units (CHP) (left). The heat can be used, for example, to heat buildings. In this way, the energy is used twice and therefore particularly efficiently. Since the production of biogas only produces as much carbon dioxide as the energy crops absorbed during their growth or would escape from waste anyway, electricity and heat from biogas plants are particularly climate-friendly.
