Barloworld Power has been awarded a contract by Bosch Projects to supply equipment for a 4.0 MW biogas-to-power project to be developed in Bronkhorstspruit, 78 km northeast of Boksburg. The electricity produced by the project will be used by a large automobile manufacturer for its plant in Rosslyn, Pretoria.
Biogas is produced when organic matter breaks down in the absence of oxygen, and can be used as a renewable, clean energy source. The Bronkhorstspruit Biogas Power Plant Pty Ltd is an independent power producer (IPP) formed by Bio2Watt, which has a contract to purchase waste from Beefcor, a cattle farm in the area. About 40,000 tonnes a year of cattle manure and a further 20,000 tonnes of mixed organic waste will be fed into two anaerobic digesters that will produce the biogas feedstock for a combined heat and power application using Caterpillar internal combustion gas generator sets.
