€22m Waste to Energy Gasification Deal for EQTEC in


Vietnam Industrial scale gasification firm,


EQTEC plc has signed a Memoran- dum of Understanding with PT. CITRA METRO JAYA ENERGI for a 12MWe waste to energy plant in Hanoi, Vietnam. The scope of deal will see EQTEC supply include two complete gasifi- cation lines with 4.5 tonnes per hour and four Jenbacher syngas engines as well as ancillary equipment and commissioning and start-up serv- ices.


CITRA is part of the Energy division


of the Citra Metro Group, a group of companies headquartered in Indone- sia and involved in energy, technology and telecommunications. The deal is to supply its EQTEC Gasifier Technology (EGT) for a 12MWe power plant under which CITRA considers EQTEC as the exclusive technology supplier of the 12MWe gasification plant for the 12 months from the date of the MOU.


Germany awards 112 MW in CHP


tenders Germany has awarded contracts for just under 21 MW in its first tender for ‘innovative combined heat and power (CHP) systems’. The country’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnet- zagentur) said seven bids totalling around 23 MW had been received, but two bids were invalid. The average price for the winning bids was €0.127/kWh, with the low- est bid coming in at €0.0847/kWh and the highest bid at €0.1094/kWh. The Bundesnetzagentur defined ‘innovative CHP systems’ as those including a renewable heat source such as solar thermal, geothermal or heat pump.


Since late 2017 the Carlsberg Group shas been running one of Sweden's biggest brewery with zero carbon emissions from its energy consumption. The brewery in Falkenberg is now 100%


powered by biogas and green electricity, which reduces the brewery's carbon emissions from thermal energy and electricity to zero. The Falkenberg brewery has been using


green electricity for many years, and 26% of the thermal energy comes from biogas generated from the brewery's own waste- water. The remaining 74% of energy comes


from natural gas, which has now, in co-operation with energy supplier Ørsted AB, been converted to biogas with certificates ensuring that the biogas sup- plied to the grid has replaced an equivalent amount of natural gas. Now, Carlsberg’s director of


environment and utilities, Adam Pawelas has revealed that the global brewer is in the ‘early stages’ of exploring integration methods for energy storage to support onsite generation. The news underscores the Carlsberg

Group's current sustainability program: "Together Towards Zero." One of its four related ambitions, "Zero Carbon Footprint," is supported by a target to eliminate carbon emissions from all breweries and achieve a 30% reduction in the beer-in-hand carbon footprint by 2030. To achieve these ambitious targets,


Carlsberg Group's breweries will use 100% renewable electricity and eliminate coal as a source of energy by 2022, the company has said. Adam Pawelas comments: “At the moment, we consider battery storage a supplementary solution. We are at the early stages and will not be focusing solely on batteries. In some markets, power-load management is a feasible option to be an active player either by us or by a third party.” He said: “We have some locations where


we would like to grow our solar projects where our baseload will not be able to consume the installed capacity of those solar PV systems, and there, we will consider the extension of battery storage.”

Veolia renews VESTA Waste-to-Energy deal in Rouen, France


In France, the Greater Rouen joint


waste disposal authority (SMEDAR) has renewed its contract with Veolia to operate the VESTA waste to energy plant under a six-and-a-half-year contract worth €116 million. VESTA can handle and recover up to


325,000 metric tonnes of household and assimilated waste collected from across the region. Treated in three furnace lines at a very high temperature (1,000°C), the waste generates up to 180 GWh/year of


electricity of which 125 GWh/year – the equivalent of the city of Rouen’s consumption – is sold to the French electricity grid. The facility also produces 85 GWh/year


of thermal energy delivered in the form of heat to the city’s Vésuve district heating network. the deal followed a competitive tender process involving optimised operation of the facility and the provision of supervisory systems to SMEDAR to manage this facility .


Probably the most energy-efficient brewery in the world, says Carlsberg
