FOR AUCTION Inactive biogas power plant in Santa Maria La Fossa (CE), Via Madama Bianca 81 - LOT 4

Biogas energy production plant, consisting of a concrete digester and an internal combustion cogeneration engine in a container, and equipment such as piping, pumps, trenches and sheds for storage, electrical substation, located on Via Madama Bianca.

The unit was built on third-party land under a contract for the transfer of the surface right on third-party land for a duration of 20 years, automatically extendable by 5 years twice and therefore by 10 years, unless the concessionaire exercises the option to waive such extensions. The fee was set at €2,500/year for the first 20 years and €3,000/year for the following 10.

The plant has an electrical power of 100 kW, with a maximum deliverable electrical power therefore of 700 kW, and consists of a single fermenter fed by livestock effluent (as well as any by-products of food origin), collected in a suitably sized pre-tank obtained from volumes already available on the farm. The fermenter is equipped with a gas storage dome for biogas storage.
The biogas produced is conveyed to the cogeneration engine for the production of electrical and thermal energy, after dehumidification and desulfurization pre-treatment, while the digestate is conveyed to the existing storage tanks to be reused as a stabilized soil conditioner for field fertilization. The plant is supplied using the effluents produced by the livestock farm adjacent to where the plant itself was built. In this way, the biomass can be moved, into and out of the digester, solely through buried piping and pumps, avoiding road transport and/or mechanical means. In order to ensure a constant availability of biomass to feed the digester, and to prevent drops in biogas production, provision has also been made for a back-up loading system for stackable material, capable of making up for any possible and temporary shortage of pumpable biomass due to potential farm-related issues. It is not necessary to equip the area with any storage site for supplementary biomass, as it is envisaged that the raw material will be transported to the site as needed according to supplementation/feeding requirements.

In order to maximize the value, i.e., its profitability, it is advisable to convert the currently inactive biogas production plant to biomethane.

On the plant, on 31/08/2016, a surface right and easement were established (Registered in Naples 1 on 14/09/2016 no. 17524 Series 1T)
