Spoding for innovative organic waste in Osterholz-Scharmbeck!

Osterholz-Scharmbeck, Deutschland - On March 10, 2025, the groundbreaking for a new organic waste fermentation system in Osterholz-Scharmbeck took place. The construction is carried out by the municipal waste disposal facility North-Niedersachsen (Kenn), which was founded in 2020 as a cooperation project of the districts of Cuxhaven, Osterholz, Verden and the city of Cuxhaven. The main goal of this system is ecologically sustainable bio -waste recycling.

The bio -fermentation system will be able to convert organic waste into biogas and compost. Biogas represents a renewable energy and can be used as a climate -neutral replacement for natural gas. The necessary organic waste, which come from biotons such as lawn, leaves, leaves and food residues, are currently being processed in various composting systems. The conventional composting process requires a regular supply of air and water, which is associated with considerable energy expenditure. In contrast, the bio -fermentation system uses biochemical processes for energy generation in the form of biogas. This biogas is then fed into the natural gas network as a heating energy.

Similar bio -waste fermentation systems have already proven to be efficient and environmentally friendly. For example, a bio-waste fermentation system in Bernburg (Saale) was put into operation in 2022. This system has made an annual production of around 21,000 megawatt hours of biomethane possible, which also serves as a climate -neutral replacement for natural gas. The facility has contributed to saving around 7,400 tons of CO2 over a term of 30 years, which corresponds to the effect of 2,200 households with green stream and 300 households with green heat.

The Bernburg facility processes around 33,000 tons of organic waste a year and makes a contribution to the sustainable circular economy and to strengthen the added value in the region. In addition, the fermentation product from fermentation in agriculture is used, which protects the resources and promotes independence from fossil gas deliveries.
