Växtkraft is a biogas plant in which bio-waste from households and restaurants is digested, together with ley crops from farms and sludge from grease separators in large-scale kitchens. The biogas that is produced, since 2005, in the process can be utilised as environmentally compatible fuel for motor vehicles. Biofertilizer is also obtained as a residual product, something that farmers can spread back onto the fields as an organic fertilizer. The Växtkraft project creates a sustainable circulation of energy and plant nutrients.
Challenges is to be able to offer biogas for all the buses in the region. The regional buscompany would like to triple the amount of biogasbuses. The important thing is to retain the high quality of the bio-waste, since the organic fertilizer is used in ecological cultivation. The information to the households is important in this work. The future plan is to be able to receive wraped bio-waste. Also to get permission to receive slaughterhouse waste.
