Biogas possibilities for Ghana Occasion: Ensuring reliable and affordable power supply 18 April 2016, Coconut Grove Regency Hotel, Accra (Ghana) PlanET is represented by: Dr. Mathias Kern, International Sales Manager
What is Biogas? Input materials (examples) results Manure (liquid + solid) Anaerobic Digestion (AD) (30-80 days, 40 C) Boiler (Steam) Organic waste from food processing Biogas 50-60 % Methan Electricity Food waste Compressed natural gas (CNG) Fertilizer 2
further advantages of biogas 1. Biogas production works constantly (24/7) 2. Biogas is storable (1 day) a. Electricity production can follow the demand b. Combineable with other systems (Solar, Wind, Diesel, ) 1800 1600 1400 1200 1000 800 600 energy demand Biogas production 400 200 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24

PlanET s construction scope Medium scale plants 16/6 m digester Optional with feeding technology 75 kw CHP SulfurCat as desulphurization support Waste to Energy (WTE) plants All kinds of organic material suitable Optional hygienisation technology Valuable fertilizer Remarkable reduction of CO 2 emission Agricultural plants CHP sizes from 75 kw to 1.5 MW Modular plant set-up for later extension Different concepts incl. heat use and satellite CHPs Biomethane plants Fermentation line similar to agricultural or WTE plants Independent upgrading technology consultancy Combination with CHPs possible 6
Plant example 1 PlanET liquid manure plant in Germany with CHP 1 digester 4,600 m³ 2 digestate storage 6,400 m³ CHP 340 kw Substrates 80 mt liquid manure/day from 900 cows 7
Plant example 2 PlanET biomethane plant in Germany with CHPs 2 digester 4,928 m³ 2 secondary digester 4,928 m³ 2 digestate storage 6,433 m³ CHP 3,500 kw (in total) Gas upgrading 350 m³ biomethane Solid charger 4 PlanET Vario 74 m³ Substrates maize, chicken litter, liquid cow and pig manure, green rye Heat use 5 satellite CHPs supply a school, a retirement house, a fire station and a business with heat. 8
Plant example 3 PlanET waste-to-energy plant in Canada 3 prestorage tanks 270 m³ 3 digester 3,900 m³ digestate storage 5,600 m³ CHP 2.9 MW (in total) Solid charger PlanET Vario eco flow Substrates slaughterhouse waste, carcasses, chicken litter, food waste, solid and liquid cow manure 9
Biogas in Ghana: fruit processing Input material results Anaerobic Digestion Fruit waste 40,000 MT per year Electricity (500 kw el.) 8 Mio GHS Invest 48 GHS / MW el. Fertilizer 10
Biogas in Ghana: palm oil mill Input material results Palm oil mill effluent 50,000 MT per year Anaerobic Digestion Electricity (3-4 MW el.) empty fruit bunches (+ mesocarp fibres) 50,000 MT per year 40 Mio GHS Invest 50-70 GHS / MW el. Fertilizer (3,2 GHS / lit Diesel) 11
Motivation PlanET is looking for ways to bring its outstanding AD technology to Ghana. We want to provide solutions for - companies with high electricity demand - companies with high organic waste production - farmers willing to earn reliable profit - farmers needing nutrient-rich fertilizer - authorities willing to ease grid fluctuations - authorities willing to reduce CO 2 emissions 18.04.2016 12
Motivation PlanET is looking for a Sales and Service partner. They are expected to handle They will be provided with - customer acquisition - analyses and calculations - building permission - drawings - grid connection - material package - local work - construction supervisors 18.04.2016 13
