Quality
Quality and Stable Value
PlanET biogas plants are always built to the highest quality standards. A biogas plant is a 20-year investment and the equipment must ensure the biogas plant functions as desired for the life of the project. Our in-house research and development group is always investigating and evaluating the latest technological innovations in biogas technology. New technology is put through rigorous testing before it is incorporated into a PlanET biogas plant. Only the top quality components will be used by PlanET.
PlanET plants are always built to the local codes and standards that are in place. PlanET works closely with relevant mechanical, electrical, structural authorities to ensure that PlanET obtains the correct permits and approvals for each biogas plant.
The PlanET group of companies has been positioned in international markets for more than ten (10) years.
PlanET has ensured sustainable growth by focusing on markets where long-term investments in biogas technology are accepted both politically and socially.
PlanET takes an universal approach to maintaining high quality standards for all international projects. We work tirelessly to ensure our design complies with all relevant codes and standards (CSA, UL, TSSA, ESA, and local building codes).
General Information
Sustainable Development
Biogas is a combustible fuel which is produced through the anaerobic digestion process. Anaerobic means “in the absence of oxygen”. In the right set of circumstances, the organic fraction of liquid or solid biomass is converted into valuable fuel. Biogas consists of roughly 40% – 70% methane, with the rest being CO2 and trace amounts of H2O, H2S, H2 and NH3 produced by the microbiological process. The amount of methane in the biogas is largely a function of the organic input menu.
Liquid and solid manure, vegetable waste, grocery store waste, fats, oils, and greases (FOG), slaughterhouse waste, and selective energy crops, like corn, are ideally suited as inputs to a biogas plant. Biogas, when utilized in a combined heat and power (CHP) unit produces electrical energy for sale and heat energy for use locally. The heat produced by the CHP is used to heat the digestion process to improve biogas yield. Biogas can also be cleaned up for injection into the local natural gas grid or as a vehicle fuel.
The remaining byproduct of the digestion process is digestate which is a fermented organic material which may be used as high quality fertilizer. Biogas has a key role in supporting a diverse energy portfolio as a flexible, dispatchable fuel source.
Benefits of Biogas
Biogas Provides Multiple Value-Added Benefits to Society as a Whole
Agricultural
Anaerobic digestion of livestock manure and organic food residuals provides security to the agricultural/ food sector. Several benefits include:
– financial diversification and risk mitigation through energy sales
– implementing strong nutrient management practices
– supporting local processing of agricultural production
– reducing commercial fertilizer requirements and costs
Economic
The green economy benefits of biogas are considerable and include:
– local job creation in technical, manufacturing and construction/trades
– economic development generating billions of dollars of investment in rural communities
– creation of useful by-products from wastes, acting as a significant economic multiplier
Energy
As a source of renewable energy, biogas has unique characteristics and offers many energy end uses. Biogas can
– generate reliable, flexible power 24/7
– manage intermittent renewable power supply through means of storage and flexible power
– improve/support local infrastructure and power quality
– upgrade to renewable natural gas (RNG) for injection into the natural gas grid, delivering ‘green’ renewable energy through existing infrastructure
– be compressed for use as transportation fuel, or direct replacement of fossil-sourced natural gas in household heating, or industrial, commercial and institutional processes
Environmental
The environmental benefits of biogas are numerous.
– control weed seed germination, reducing herbicide use
– remove odour-causing compounds
– capture and use of methane, a greenhouse gas 21 times worse than CO2
– convert high energy waste streams into fuel, diverting them from landfill
