en.Wedoany.com Reported - German company EnviTec Biogas has recently achieved the initial grid connection of a 417 Nm³/h EnviThan gas upgrading unit in Ožďany, Slovakia.

Developed by CITA VIA s.r.o., this project upgrades 750 Nm³/h of raw biogas into high-quality biomethane at its Ožďany facility. Stefan Laumann stated, "The customer plans to significantly expand production capacity." In the long term, the plant's capacity is expected to increase to up to 1,300 Nm³/h of raw biogas to enhance output and efficiency.

The existing biogas plant has been in operation for 14 years, using feedstocks such as corn, cattle straw manure, and chicken manure. With the integration of the new EnviThan upgrading system, the facility will continue to generate electricity while producing biomethane. Miroslav Kováčik noted, "This addition significantly enhances the plant's capabilities." Viktor Hegedüs added, "In the future, the operation will shift to using only waste-based feedstocks." This contributes to improved sustainability and supports Slovakia's green energy transition.

The EnviThan system is based on membrane technology, manufactured at EnviTec's plant in Saerbeck, and undergoes rigorous testing before delivery to ensure rapid commissioning and optimized performance. EnviTec Service s.r.o., located near Velké Meziříčí, provides efficient maintenance services.

This project aligns with Slovakia's renewable energy targets, as the country invests in the expansion of clean energy. According to the Energy Export Initiative of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action, biomethane is expected to play a key role in the energy transition. Slovakia can access €103 million from the EU Recovery Fund to support renewable energy projects, with studies indicating that approximately 34 biogas plants in the country have the potential to produce biomethane.

The Czech Republic is also advancing its decarbonization strategy. The Czech Biogas Association estimates that annual biomethane production from waste could reach 700 million cubic meters, with a goal to develop around 100 plants by 2035. Through this project, EnviTec Biogas strengthens its position in the field of gas upgrading solutions, supporting Europe's transition to a sustainable energy system.
