BASgas focuses on cooperation with farmers as from 100 dairy cows
The farmer produces raw biogas from mono manure digestion. For this, the farmer invests in a digester and, if necessary, stable floor modification (hourly manure disposal). BASgas buys the raw biogas for a fixed price.
At the farmyard, BASgas places its own installation for gas purification and reprocessing. BASgas then arranges transport to its own regional gas grid feed-in points. The gas is sold to a power company.
BASgas supports the farmer and coordinates the chain. The chain is certified from farmer to BASgas.
Biogas and Green gas
Biogas results from digestion of biomass such as manure and plant residues and forms the basis for Green gas. In several steps, biogas is upgraded to Green gas, which has the same composition as natural gas.
The Netherlands wants to produce much more Green gas soon
Reduction CO2 emissions and reduction geo-political dependence
Part of European sustainability agreements
Current production is < 20% of the Dutch target by 2030!
Without strong growth of manure digestion, the target will not be met
Over 80% of manure volume comes from cows
Make way for mono manure digestion!
The dairy sector needs and wants to become more sustainable
Farmers face increasing manure surplus
Manure disposal is increasingly expensive => business continuity is at risk
Manure disposal is wasteful due to loss of nutrients
Self-processing of manure is the solution with biogas production as the logical first step
Revenue model biogas
Continuity family business
BASgas unleashes the Green gas potential of farmers as from 100 dairy cows
Half the potential lies with farmers with 100-200 dairy cows, but they do not yet digest
Standalone Green gas production under 400 dairy cows is not financially feasible
Green gas feed-in is far from possible everywhere due to limitations of the gas grid
BASgas brings the solution with technical and organisational innovation
