Project description
A new way to turn manure into electricity
Biogas production has increased in the EU. Encouraged by the renewable energy policies, biogas is increasingly recognised as a sustainable option. The EU-funded FimusKraft project has developed a revolutionary cost-effective idea to turn waste from cattle, pigs and humans into electricity, heat and fertiliser. A three-step bio-fermentation process uses micro-biological pre-processing to optimise the methane-to-CO2 ratio of the biowaste before the feedstock enters the fermenter. The system is the first combining biogas fermenting with pre-handling of the biowaste through micro-biological pre-processing. A FimusKraft biogas plant can be a stable electricity source for other power plants like solar or wind power networks. It can also be very local, when no energy is needed for transporting waste materials.
Objective
A future-oriented and sustainable energy supply is possible only if the particular advantages of each kind of renewable
energy source are combined in an optimal way. Biogas offers flexibility: it can be used when wind or sun are lacking. and the
opportunities are manifold: it provides power, heat, fuel and fertilizer from organic resources – regional, reliable and climate
friendly.
FimusKraft has developed an innovative 3-step bio-fermentation process that uses enzymes to optimise the Methane to Carbon Dioxide
ratio of the bio-waste before the feedstock enters the fermenter. The system is the first combining bio-gas fermenting
with the pre-handling of the bio-waste through enzymes.
It is a revolutionary cost-effective idea, turning Biowaste to an electricity system. This technology takes CO2 yield close to zero.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
