BIOGAS production from organic waste in the


European Food And Beverage industry

FABBIOGAS

The FABbiogas project aspires to change the mindsets of all stakeholders in the waste-
to-energy chain by promoting residues from Food and Beverage (FaB) industry as a new
and renewable energy source for biogas production. Project outputs will support the
diversification of energy sources within FaB companies, leading to wide-spread
valorization and efficient integration of FaB residues into energy systems and boosting
the realization of a growing number of biogas projects in Austria, Czech Republic,
France, Germany, Italy and Poland. To reach these goals, the FABbiogas partners will:
*establish a solid information base on FaB waste utilization for biogas production
proving energy efficiency of industrial biogas integration *organize awareness raising
events for FaB waste-based biogas production addressing all relevant target groups of
FaB waste suppliers, users and policy stakeholders in order to increase the visibility of
existing best practice and future potentials *set up national contact points in FaB
associations in all partner countries to establish decentralized knowledge hubs *identify
potentials for using FaB waste in existing biogas plants and conduct preliminary
feasibility studies to prepare the ground for future biogas projects using FaB waste
*compile a complete set of tools and guidelines for dissemination of project results to
industry stakeholders and policy makers, facilitating cooperation between FaB industry,
biogas sector and lawmakers all over Europe.

Results
Awareness raising events (national/international seminars, national info-days + study tours,
national work shops) targeting all involved stakeholders along the waste-to-energy chain will
illustrate the high energy potential of FaB waste resulting in increased renewable energy
production of 35,000 toe/a and hence, 183,000 tCO2e/a saved
Maps depicting existing waste biogas plants and FaB waste streams; including 12-18 best
practice examples and recommendations how to overcome barriers leading to an expected
impact of comprehensive waste stream mobilization from FaB branches. In 30 % of the reached
target group 75 % of waste will be treated in existing/newly constructed biogas plants
Preliminary feasibility studies (12-18 conducted) will prepare the ground for future projects on
implementing the use of FaB waste for sustainable bio-energy production. Based on previous
estimations 7.5 million € of investment will be triggered
The establishment of national Advisory Services on using FaB waste for biogas production will
implement extensive biogas expertise in FaB associations becoming sustainable contact points
for industry requests. These associations advise industrial stakeholders on funding and
financing programmes for integrating the renewable bio-energy resource FaB waste. In partner
countries 120 detailed advisory services will be conducted leading to 18 new FaB waste
treatment initiatives
Information compendium (handbook, DVD, IT-tool) for a future standard on efficient use of FaB
waste as renewable bio-energy resource. FABbiogas results comprise the set of tools and
guidelines needed for creating a European reference standard on industrial FaB waste usage for
bio-energy generation. Thus, the FABbiogas project significantly supports the preparation and
application of legislative measures

Lesson learned

In some countries is not possible to obtain adequate data on existing biogas plants and waste streams from
FAB industry. To solve this proble, there is a need to interview selected biogas plant operators or FAB
companies to get rough estimations

Companies do not want to publish data on their best practice projects: in some cases companies preliminarily
expressed their agreement to be displayed in the factsheets, and then they became reluctant to reply and to
publish kind of information. Partners are looking for alternative/other projects and alternatively for anaerobic
wastewater treatment projects in FAB industry to show as best cases
