3. • Founded in 2005 and very experienced in anaerobic digesting and specialized in transforming
food, year/leaf waste, MSW and other local types of biomass into different kinds of energy and
natural fertilizer;
• Very broad experience in DBFMO (designing, building, financing, maintaining and operating)
digesters and is very well known for its expertise in the field of renewable and sustainable energy,
fertilizer production and systematic improvements in ground quality;
• In the past 8 years BBE Biogas developed itself into a leading company for digesting in the
Netherlands. At the second half of 2014, BBE Biogas has produced approximately 550,000,000
kWh of renewable energy through the biogas plants it owns, owned or operated thereby realizing
a carbon footprint reduction of more than 220,000 tons of CO2;
• Innovation is one of the key drivers for success. All the plants developed, build and operated by
BBE Biogas are adapted to local conditions in order to maximize the value for both the owner of
the site, as well as the surrounding area and customers. Every biogas plant is unique and designed
according to the local 4 local principle, whereby local waste products are used to supply in local
energy demand.

Philosophy BBE Biogas
BBE Biogas strongly
believes in the local for local
principle, whereby local
products are used in order
to supply in local (energy)
demands.We are
convinced that this type of
sustainable, decentralized
energy production is the
future of the energy
industry.
Every digester we build is a
turn-key project, whereby
the design of the digester
is based upon a thorough
research on the specific
market conditions.

6. 1. BBE Biogas provides unique and innovative integral DBMO (designing, building, maintaining and
operating) biogas solutions for food- and agricultural companies;
2. BBE Biogas is very experienced and in the Netherlands very well known for its knowledge in the
field of biogas and sustainable concepts;
3. BBE Biogas has a very high level of knowledge on the production of soil improvers and fertilizers;
4. We
use
a
flexible
design,
so
the
plant
will
be
ready
for
the
future
in
terms
of
changing
feedstock
products;
5. The plants of BBE Biogas are easy to operate and because of the solid constructions known for
their low maintenance costs. Furthermore BBE Biogas is able to remotely operate and control the
biogas plants
6. BBE Biogas offers the unique possibility to train future operators on the job at one of BBE Biogas’
operating plants in the Netherlands;
7. We are capable of providing ongoing support and management at all stages including
commisioning, start-up and full operations, according to the client’s needs.

8. Anerveen – DBFMO project
BBE Biogas was closely involved in the development of this 2.1MW biogas plant in Anerveen, the
Netherlands.After the deal was financially closed, construction started in 2006 under the supervision of BBE
Biogas. The build quality and in-depth operation knowledge of BBE Biogas ensure high availability and
uptimes.

9. Anerveen – DBFMO project
A dryer is installed in the central hall to dry
the digestate. Dry matter contents of 85% are
reached.
Two of these Jenbacher engines are installed to
generate 2.1MWe. BBE Biogas is specialized in
the maintanance of these gas engines and is
able to carry out most of the maintenance and
repair works itself.
This silo hydrolyses the (solid and wet) substrate.
The substrate in Anerveen consists of 50% manure
and 50% biomass and fat residues.

10. Scheemda– DBFMO project
This 2.3MW biogas plant in Scheemda was constructed at the end of 2006. BBE Biogas co-financed the plant
and supervised the construction process. After the construction was completed, the plant was operated
together with the Anerveen plant to optimise economies of scale.
10

11. Scheemda– DBFMO project
Besides two larger Jenbacher
J320 GS engines a smaller
CHP was used to generate
2.4MWe. The maintenance
and repair of these CHP’s is
done by the skilled BBE
Biogas team.
The substrate in Scheemda also consists of 50% manure
and 50% biomass and fat residues. A large part of the
feedstock purchase process is coordinated by BBE Biogas’
headquarters.
11

12. Heeten–FMO project
Acquired by BBE Biogas in 2008, this project was originally initiated by a consortium of 35 piggeries.With a
total installed capacity of 2.1MW, this biogas plant is able to process 100.000 tonnes of manure per year.
Not only through anaerobic digesting, but also a decanter (centrifuge) is installed and also filtration
techniques like ultrafiltration and reverse osmosis.
12

13. West Japan – DBO project
BBE Biogas is developing its first project in Japan together with a local partner. This facility will have a
capacity of nearly 600kW and supply the generated electricity to the national grid. Construction will start at
the beginning of 2015 and commissioning / start-up will follow 2015/2016. BBE Biogas will stay involved in
the daily operations of this facility.

14. Other projects - overview
BBE Biogas designed, financed and constructed this innovative 1.8MW
biogas plant in Stadskanaal, the Netherlands.All systems are fully closed to
ensure maximum odour reduction. The heat from the CHP’s is used to
warm up the neighbouring Refaja Hospital.
This 5.5MW biogas plant in
Veendam, the Netherlands was
designed and constructed
under BBE Biogas’ supervision.
Feedstock can be brought to
the plant via the canal.
Since the end of 2013 BBE
Biogas is involved in the
operations and maintenance of
this 1.3MW AD facility in
Coevorden
14

15. Other projects - overview
This 835kW project in Baarlo was advised and operated by BBE Biogas
for some months. Shortly after the consultancy work started the
production of the plant increased to steady levels and outstanding
conversion rates.
The 2.4MW digester in Ysselsteyn was acquired by BBE
Biogas in 2009. Since then, the plant is modernized and
optimized to supply in local market needs and demands.
The permit on this digester makes it possible to digest
different kinds of (animal) waste.
This 2.0MW plant in Zwolle is owned by ROVA (a
large waste collector in north/east Holland) and
advised by BBE Biogas. This plant digests green
material from companies and residents.
