This is the good practice's implementation level. It can be national, regional or local.
About this good practice
Brewery’s biogas production plant to reduce the burden on the city's wastewater network and increase the company's resource efficiency.
Resources needed
2,5 M€ for total investment. Grant 1,1 M€ by Estonian Ministry of Environment’s measure “Resource efficiency of enterprises” from the Structural Funds of EU. Measure supports investments in resource-efficient solutions and resource audit of enterprise - prerequisite for investment aid.
Evidence of success
In addition to reducing wastewater disposal costs and its environmental impact the plant is also economically profitable for the company. Approximately ~230 thousand m3 or 13% of the natural gas imported from Russia to produce heat can be replaced by biogas produced on site (100% of biogas produced on site are used on site for heating) that reduces emissions by 4300 tCO2.
Potential for learning or transfer
Potential transfer to other breweries and other food industries.
