The Danish company Dong Energy is establishing a green energy consortium, Måbjerg Energy Concept, together with local player to support Danish research and, especially, export of green energy
know-how."

Over the coming 15 months, the consortium will determine whether a number of bio energy projects are feasible and will be profitable. The consortium will explore project opportunities in the form of new plants and conversion of
existing plants, according to a press release from Dong Energy.  

All projects will be within the scope of green energy generation based on local biomass and waste resources, which will be used to generate a whole range of energy products, including biogas, hydrogen, bioethanol and electricity and heat.

The consortium will look specifically at the possibilities of constructing a second-generation bioethanol plant, expanding the existing Maabjerg BioEnergy biogas plant by adding a hydrogen generation plant, as well as converting the existing biomass-fired CHP plant to enable it to handle waste products from the bioethanol plant in future. Lastly, the consortium will study the possibility of constructing a waste treatment plant that will use enzymes to separate waste fractions for use in biogas production.
