EFG Production Division

The company was founded in 2012 to build the first waste-processing biogas plant in the Czech Republic to produce biomethane. Instead of standard agricultural crops, biogas plant mainly processes kitchen waste, from which it produces green energy, including an ecological alternative to natural gas. By 2025, an overall total increase is planned for the production of biomethane and the waste treatment capacity.

Within the group, it focuses on the efficient acquisition and use of biogas produced in waste plants. Thanks to the upgrading of biogas through the process of membrane separation, almost pure biomethane is obtained, with a composition practically identical to natural gas. As a result, it can be injected into the gas distribution system or used in the form of BioCNG as an ecological alternative to conventional fossil fuels for the propulsion of cars or public transport vehicles.

Overview

▶  Total investment EUR 5.5 million

Biomethane = natural gas

▶  No need for technological modifications
▶  Suitable as BioCNG fuel
▶  Can be delivered to the gas distribution system
▶  Low emissions
▶  Decentralised source

▶  The first production of biomethane in Czech biogas plants for EFG Rapotín BPS (2019).

The biogas plant in Vyškov offers new possibilities for the processing and utilisation of biodegradable waste, animal by-products and other raw materials in the region. Thanks to modern technologies, it can produce electricity and heat from the input material with a very low emission footprint. In 2024, investments will be completed in the project for the production of biomethane, a gas from renewable sources, which can be used as advanced fuel or for injection into the distribution system.

The latest addition in Energy financial group’s investment portfolio is the waste biogas plant in Vysoké Mýto, with work on its renewed launch to begin in 2024. The strategy is to focus on the production of biomethane as a key commodity within the group and the development of support services (power balance services).

Expected investments

▶  The renewal and modernisation of the plant will amount to around EUR 2-3 million (without the upgrading technology)
After the modernisation
▶  Processing capacity 14,000 t/year
▶  Potential of biomethane upgrading 16 GWh/year

Renewed operations (2024)

▶  Green energy production
▶  Biomethane production
▶  Power balance services
The main purpose of the power plant in Mostek is to operate a stable source of electricity and heat from renewable sources, with the key raw material being agricultural biomass in the form of pellets and wood chips. In order to ensure a smooth supply, the sources are diversified and the boiler design makes it possible to burn variable types of fuels. One of the current key tasks is also the adaptation of operations to provide power balance services to stabilise the power grid.

The group has a strategic advantage in the form of its own collection company EFG Waste logistic. It provides the distribution and collection of biodegradable waste containers and the subsequent processing in waste biogas plants managed by Energy financial group. It cooperates with companies from the food and processing industry, business entities, cities, and municipalities.

Overview

▶  Locations South Moravian, Moravian-Silesian, Olomouc and Zlín regions
▶  Planned Vysočina, Pardubice and Hradec Králové regions
▶  Collection capacity 20,000 t/year

Sources of income

▶  The collection, liquidation and utilization of waste
▶  Services in the group
▶  Consultation and logistics services

Gastrowaste accounts for up to a third of the content of “black bins”. When sorted out, not only does the amount of mixed municipal waste stored in landfills decrease, but so do the costs for its liquidation. The purpose of the project is to use this waste as a renewable source instead of sending it to landfills and to process it for energy use in local biogas plants. Cooperation takes place at the level of Czech cities, municipalities and companies.
