A complete biomethane set, from agricultural byproducts to energy, a new concept for the exploitation of agricultural residues.

Introduction

Nowadays, the construction of digesters for biogas plants is made of steel or concrete, which is highly expensive and not eco-friendly. Recent changes in EU directives on lowering incentives for biogas production have excluded sophisticated solutions, promoting the choice of simple, innovative, and cost-efficient solutions.

Proposed Solution

Alvus proposes a new construction philosophy for the digesters based on the eco-friendly solution of mechanically stabilized earth (MSE). Our solution provides the following advantages:

1. Cost Efficiency: Realization of larger volumes, at a drastically reduced cost (55% CAPEX savings compared to traditional concrete digesters).
2. Environmental Impact: Lower CO2 emissions (up to 85%), reduced environmental impact, and better incorporation of the plant in the agricultural landscape.
3. Construction Speed: Easy and quick construction.

Project Goals

Thanks to this EIC project, Alvus will be able to develop, validate, and commercialize a disruptive innovation, revolutionizing the entire biomethane market.
