UP FOR AUCTION: Inactive biogas power plant in Santa Maria La Fossa (CE), Via Camino, no street number - LOT 7

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

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

The plant has an electrical capacity of 100 kW, with a maximum deliverable electrical capacity of 700 kW, and consists of a single digester fed with livestock waste (as well as any by-products of food origin), collected in a suitably sized pre-tank created using volumes 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 being pre-treated for dehumidification and desulfurization, while the digestate is conveyed to the existing storage tanks for reuse as a stabilized soil improver to fertilize the fields. The plant is fed using waste produced by the livestock farm next to which the plant itself was built. In this way, 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 prevent drops in biogas production, a backup loading system for stackable material has also been provided, capable of compensating for any temporary shortage of pumpable biomass caused by possible operational issues at the farm. No storage area for supplementary biomass is required, as the raw material is expected to be transported to the site as needed, according to supplementation and feeding requirements.

To maximize its value and profitability, it is advisable to convert the currently inactive biogas production plant to biomethane production.

A surface right and easement were established on the plant on 04/10/2016 (registered in Naples 1 on 06/10/2016, no. 18842, Series 1T).
