Anaerobic digestion of wet biomass for heat generation
Wet biomass in this category refers to organic wastes such as residual flows from the food and beverage industry, vegetable, fruit and garden wastes, or organic wet faction of household wastes. The residual flows are mentioned in the NTA8003 and published by the Netherlands Standardization Institute. For this category, a minimum biogas production of 25 Nm3 (natural gas equivalent) for tonne feedstock is requested. Manure is not included in this category.

Biogas consists mainly of methane (in average 60%) and carbon dioxide (33-38%) in addition to contaminants such as sulphur, water vapor and oxygen. The biogas is desulfurized and it is fed into a biogas boiler to produce heat. Mostly steam boilers are used for the industrial applications. The Activities Decree on emissions for combustion plants requires that the boiler installations with a nominal thermal input power of >1 MWth comply with the emission limit values stated in the Decree.
