Bright Biomethane’s Maarten Holtkamp speaker at International Biogas Congress & Expo in Brussels

Sales Director Maarten Holtkamp of Bright Biomethane will be speaking at the International Biogas Congress & Expo in Brussels on Wednesday October 23 at 10.30h. He will discuss the case study of Belgium’s first biomethane plant supplied by Bright Biomethane. 

With the supply of Bright Biomethane’s system last year, Belgium’s first biomethane-to-grid was a fact. The biomethane system uses membrane technology to upgrade the biogas to 91 Nm³ biomethane per hour, equivalent to the annual natural gas consumption of 350 households. The biogas is produced from the anaerobic digestion of garden, fruit and vegetable waste (GFV) from more than half million residents of the Kempen area. Read more about the project in Beerse, Belgium.
