Croatia to build largest biogas plant in Europe
Construction on a €30 million biogas plant in Croatia, Europe’s largest, began on 14 May.
The plant will be located at Ovcara farm outside the eastern Croatian town of Vukovar.
The project has been initiated by Vukovar-based Bionergija company, established by a local Vupik agribusiness and several Croatian and foreign entrepreneurs.
The future plant, which should be built by the end of 2010, is expected to produce 10 MW of electrical energy and 11 MW of thermal energy a day.
About 700 tonnes of biomass should be ensured daily from agricultural crops on Vupik-owned arable land for the production in the biogas plant.
Croatia is expected to raise its biofuels' share in transport fuels to 5.75% by 2012 and to 20% by 2020.
