UP FOR AUCTION: Inactive biogas power plant in Grazzanise (CE), Via Albero Lungo, no street number - LOT 2

Biogas power generation plant, consisting of a concrete digester and a containerized internal combustion cogeneration engine, and equipment such as pipes, pumps, trenches and storage sheds, electrical substation, located on Via Albero Lungo.

The unit was built on third-party land under a contract granting a surface right over third-party land for a term of 20 years, automatically renewable twice for 5 years each, and therefore for a total of 10 years, unless the concessionaire exercises its right to waive the renewal. The annual fee was set at 2,500 euros for the first 20 years and 3,000 euros per year for the following 10 years.

The plant has an electrical capacity of 100 kW, for a maximum deliverable electrical output of 700 kW, and consists of a single digester fed with livestock effluent (as well as any by-products of food origin), collected in a suitably sized pre-tank created using space already available on the farm. The digester is equipped with a gasometer dome for biogas storage.
The biogas produced is conveyed to the cogeneration engine to generate electricity and heat, after pre-treatment for dehumidification and desulfurization, while the digestate is conveyed to the existing storage tanks for reuse as a stabilized soil conditioner for fertilizing fields. The plant is supplied using effluent produced by the livestock farm adjacent to which the plant itself was built. This means the biomass can be moved into and out of the digester solely through underground pipes and pumps, avoiding road transport and/or the use of mechanical vehicles. To ensure a constant supply of biomass to feed the digester and avoid drops in biogas production, provision was also made for a backup loading system for stackable material, capable of compensating for any temporary shortage of pumpable biomass caused by possible operational issues at the farm. There is no need to provide the area with a storage site for supplementary biomass, as the raw material is to be transported to the site as needed to meet supplementation and feeding requirements.

To maximize its value, or profitability, it would be advisable to convert the currently inactive biogas production plant to biomethane production.

A surface right and easement were established over the plant on 22/09/2016 (registered in Naples 1 on 05/10/2016, no. 18732, Series 1T).
