Landfill gas biogas plants
We provide comprehensive end-to-end services for landfill gas biogas plants – from audits and energy balance assessments, through engineering design and documentation, to the construction of the gas collection system. We ensure full project financing, asset management and operational servicing, effectively transferring investment risk away from our partners.
Cooperation with NBE delivers tangible financial benefits, including no capital or operating expenditures on the partner’s side and participation in revenues generated from energy sales. At the same time, it provides significant environmental benefits, such as the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, mitigation of odours and a lower risk of fire hazards.
Scope of our services
Landfill Site Assessments and Energy Balance Studies
We conduct detailed assessments that allow for accurate estimation of recoverable biogas volumes as well as the potential for electricity and heat generation.
Engineering design and legal documentation
Following the project feasibility assessment, we assume full responsibility for the entire legal and regulatory process — from obtaining the required permits to preparing comprehensive documentation necessary to commence the investment.
Gas collection system construction
We design and install biogas wells together with a pipeline network connected to the extraction system, ensuring efficient and safe collection of landfill gas.
Power generation unit construction
We select and integrate generators, blowers and flares into a complete renewable energy installation. The units employed are characterized by exceptionally high efficiency and availability, reaching at least 8,000 operating hours per year. Such availability ensures process stability and maximizes energy production.
Long-term operation and maintenance
Upon completion of construction, we take responsibility for the efficient operational maintenance of the installation. We regularly monitor and balance the gas collection system to sustain stable anaerobic processes.
Investments during the operational phase
Where an increase in gas potential results from the expansion of a landfill site, we consider and implement additional investments to expand the gas collection system and/or power generation units during the operational phase.
Renewable energy sales
We agree the grid connection terms, obtain a generation license from the Polish energy regulator — Energy Regulatory Office (URE) — and sell electricity under tariff schemes applicable to renewable energy sources.
