Cogeneration

Request

The project was implemented using the Agenitor 408 BG (2G) cogeneration plant, enabling efficient use of biogas for electricity and heat production. The key change was the reallocation of biogas: instead of heating, it is now used to generate electricity, with heat as a by-product.

This allowed the company to replace grid electricity with in-house generation, use heat to warm the fermenters, and improve biomethane production efficiency. After commissioning, the plant operates in island mode, ensuring stable production during power outages.

Solution

The project has been implemented using the Agenitor 408 BG (2G) cogeneration plant, enabling efficient use of biogas for the simultaneous production of electricity and heat.

The key change is the reallocation of biogas: instead of being used partly for heating via boilers, it is now used to generate electricity, with heat as a by-product.

This made it possible to:

• replace grid electricity with in-house generation;
• use the heat to warm the fermenters;
• improve biomethane production figures.

Following commissioning, the plant operates in island mode, ensuring stable production even during power cuts.

Selection and supply of an Agenitor 408 BG (2G) combined heat and power unit.

Arranging for the delivery of equipment to the site.

Installation of a combined heat and power plant.

Integration of the plant into the biomethane plant’s production process.

Carrying out commissioning work.

Bringing the unit up to stable operating parameters.

Preparing the system for operation in off-grid mode.

Conclusion

As a result of installing a combined heat and power plant, the company was able to:

replace up to 2.6 million kWh of electricity per year;
cut down electricity costs;
reduce CO₂ emissions by more than 1,000 tonnes per year;
to ensure the smooth running of production even in the event of power cuts.

This case study demonstrates how the proper integration of cogeneration into bioenergy projects makes it possible not only to reduce costs but also to improve the efficiency of the entire production process.

The project for a cogeneration plant at the Vitagro Energy biomethane plant (VITAGRO Group), in which the Pro-Energy team was involved, was named a winner of the 100 gREen AWARD-2025 in the bioenergy category. Read more about this in the article.

Pro-Energy provides solutions tailored to the specific characteristics of raw materials, production technology, and the company’s energy profile — from equipment supply to the stable operation of the system.
