Press Release: Environmental Analysis shows DBG Bio Energy’s planned bioenergy project could save over 77,000 tonnes of CO2 per year
1st June, 2021, Amsterdam: DBG Bio Energy B.V. has recently received promising environmental assessment results based on the plants’ basic engineering data from JIN Climate & Sustainability in regard to its proposed bioenergy project. The project will convert an industrial organic waste stream into BioLNG, food grade CO2, and organic fertilisers. Key preliminary findings are that the project could save over 77,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per annum in absolute terms, as well as being 119% below the EU RED-II fossil fuel comparator.
The DBG Bio Energy B.V. project will convert organic industrial waste from the paper industry into green BioLNG, food grade liquid CO2 and organic fertilizer. An initial greenhouse gas impact assessment was carried out by JIN Climate & Sustainability, an independent Dutch knowledge and research unit with a long track-record in international climate change policy, carbon markets and environmental research projects. The findings – based on the latest project engineering data - show that the planned project could save over an impressive 77,600 tonnes of CO2eq per annum and that DBG’s process is 119% below the fossil comparator of 94 gCO2eq/MJ fuel set by the EU in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED-II). These savings are due to the replacement of fossil-based transport fuels and food grade liquid CO2 . The preliminary results suggest that for each MJ of biofuel output 111,5g of CO2eq. emissions will be saved. DBG now looks forward to bringing this project to market alongside its partners and making these carbon savings a reality.
The full results were:
· In absolute terms:
o DBG’s overall process results in a net greenhouse gas emission saving of 111,5g of CO2eq. per MJ of biofuel output
o DBG’s overall process could save over 77,600 tonnes of CO2eq per annum due to the replacement of fossil-based transport fuels and food grade liquid CO2.
o DBG will process 274,000 tonnes of paper sludge per annum, equivalent to a saving of over 280 kg of CO2eq per tonne of input
· In relative terms:
o DBG’s process is 119% below the fossil comparator of 94 gCO2eq/MJfuel set by the EU in the Renewable Energy Directive (RED-II)
o This is better than the required minimum performance threshold saving of 65%
Berkay, Managing Director of DBG Bio Energy B.V., said about the results, “I am delighted with these results- the team members have worked hard to realise an environmentally friendly solution related to a problematic industrial waste stream, the process has clear and drastic carbon and environmental benefits. The solution is welcomed by stakeholders also as a robust and healthy business opportunity. While our society moves to Carbon Net Zero, we will need many more of these kind of projects, so we will continue our efforts”.
