Biomass power plant

After the epidemic of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) or mad cow disease, which unfortunately spread widely in Europe, a number of animals were slaughtered.

This, among many other things, generated a lot of cattle carcasses.

There was the challenge of efficiently disposing of said carcasses and the biomass period was pressing.

The Italian government launched a call for tenders to recycle the sludge from the treatment and destruction of the carcasses.

Solution:

“We proposed to build a small power plant fueled by animal sludge. We won the tender and successfully set up, built and made the power plant operational.”

It was a triple gain as it provided a solution to the huge amount of carcasses to dispose of. It produced electricity, economically efficient. It was located on the premises of a large third-party cement plant that was very energy-intensive, to which electricity was supplied, reducing public grid consumption.
