Anaergia Inc.’s subsidiary, Anaergia Singapore, has received a contract from New Jeju Bio to design and build the Jeju Bio Energy Biogas Plant, to be constructed in Jeju Island, South Korea.
The facility aims to convert approximately 54,000 tons per year of organic waste, including waste from slaughterhouses and undigested sludge from local sewage treatment plants, into about two megawatts of renewable energy. The biogas produced will be used to power a combined heat and power (CHP) system, providing electricity and heat to support various operations, including digestion, pasteurization, evaporation, and digestate drying. Additionally, the wastewater generated will be treated and recycled on-site, adhering to strict discharge regulations, while significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting waste recycling across Jeju Island, the firm said.
Sae Hyun Cho, CEO of New Jeju Bio, said: “Throughout the design process, we expanded our use of Anaergia’s technologies to address the diverse organic waste streams generated on Jeju Island and optimally transform them into valuable resources.”
