Veliky Novgorod Animal Waste-to-Energy Plant

Active

The project entails the construction of an animal WtE plant in Veliky Novgorod, Russia. It will produce 11,900 MWh of electricity per annum, based on a 1.4MW capacity for both heat and electricity. The main layout of the plant consists of the receiving unit for biomass, the gasification unit and the gas engine and turbine unit. Heat and electricity will be delivered directly to the Novgorodsky Bekon livestock breeding complex. A second stage of the project will aim to produce vermicompost and other biofertilisers at the site.The bioenergy plant is planning to enter into a long-term contract on the operation of the plant with international providers. The sale of heat and power will be on a long-term contract with the Novgorodsky Bekon meat production factory and to the free power market. Total investment costs are estimated at €6.7 million. Sources of funding for the project include Russia's Agency for Strategic Initiatives and the Baltic Sea Action Plan Fund (BSAP), a fund managed by the Nordic Investment Bank and the Nordic Environment Finance Corporation (NEFCO). BSAP funding will be up to €300,000. Acucomm files
