By treating biodegradable waste, for which there is largely no suitable and efficient solution, the Energy Centre Horní Suchá (ECHS) represents a sustainable and ecological solution in the field of bio-waste management. The ECHS not only alleviates the environmental burden associated with landfills, but also converts bio-waste into valuable resources, which contributes significantly to the circular economy.

One of the main benefits of the ECHS is to contribute to sustainability by diverting bio-waste from landfill. Bio-waste, which usually ends up in landfills, produces methane gas which is spontaneously released into the atmosphere, thus contributing negatively to climate change. Diverting organic waste to an energy centre not only brings benefits in the form of cleaner air, but also supports local governments in meeting their waste management targets.

In addition to mitigating environmental impacts, the ECHS produces renewable energy. Through anaerobic digestion (without air access), bio-waste is decomposed in a controlled manner to produce biogas, which is then converted into biomethane for use as renewable natural gas. The energy generated in this way can heat homes, businesses or serve as fuel in the form of bioCNG.

The fermentation process also produces digestate, which is then converted into organic fertiliser using special technology. This product offers a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers, improving health, soil fertility and reducing the environmental impact associated with synthetic fertilizers. Local farmers and agribusinesses benefit from this high quality organic fertilizer, contributing to organic farming.

ORGANIC FERTILIZER
BIOMETHANE

Organické hnojivo

Unlock the potential of your garden or farm with our innovative organic fertilizer, made from biodegradable waste such as kitchen scraps, expired food and defective batches. Our fertilizer not only enriches the soil but also promotes sustainable waste management, turning waste into a valuable resource for your plants.

Why choose our fertiliser?

Sustainable waste management

By treating kitchen waste, expired food and other biodegradable materials, our organic fertilizer reduces the amount of waste in landfills and thus minimizes the impact on the environment. By using organic fertiliser you contribute to the circular economy.

Promoting soil health

Our organic fertiliser is rich in micro-organisms and thus improves soil structure and creditworthiness, increases aeration and retains water. This creates an optimal environment for the roots of plants and crops to grow and strengthen.

Environmentally friendly and non-toxic

Our organic fertiliser does not contain synthetic chemicals or other harmful substances and is therefore safe for you and your family.

Increased microbial activity

Our organic fertiliser supports the microbial community in the soil, which helps to break down organic matter and thus improves nutrient availability.

Healthier food production

Our organic fertiliser promotes the production of healthier and more nutritious crops. It enhances natural flavor and nutritional qualities without the residue of synthetic chemicals commonly found in conventionally grown produce.

Promoting biodiversity

Our organic fertilizer helps create a more resilient and diverse agricultural ecosystem that benefits plants and animals.

V ECHS se vyrobí ročně 3 600 tun organického hnojiva díky čemuž se může vypěstovat až:

3 000 tonnes of vegetables

4 800 tonnes of fruit

1 800 tonnes of cereals

Biometan

In our plant we convert bio-waste into biomethane through anaerobic digestion (without air). This process not only reduces the amount of bio-waste in landfills, but also minimizes the greenhouse gases produced by these types of waste.

Ecological benefits

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions

By capturing methane from biowaste and converting it into biomethane, we significantly reduce the release of harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and our process helps to mitigate its impact on global warming.

Sustainable waste management

Our facility supports the circular economy by turning waste into a resource. This reduces the need for new landfills and promotes more sustainable ways of managing waste.

Renewable energy source

Biomethane is a renewable energy source that can replace fossil fuels. It can be used for heating, electricity generation and as a vehicle fuel, reducing our dependence on non-renewable energy sources.

Economic and social benefits

Energy security

By producing biomethane locally, we contribute to energy security and reduce our dependence on imported fossil fuels. This not only stabilises energy prices but also supports the local economy.

Job creation

Our facility provides jobs in the community, from collecting and processing bio-waste to operating and maintaining the facility itself.

Cost savings

Using bio-waste as a resource can lead to significant cost savings in waste disposal and energy production. For companies and municipalities this can mean lower operating costs and more sustainable practices.

Benefits for the community and health

Cleaner air

By reducing the need for fossil fuels and reducing emissions from landfills, biomethane production contributes to cleaner air quality. This has direct health benefits for our community, reducing respiratory problems and other health issues associated with pollution.

Education and awareness

Our facility serves as an education center where people can learn about sustainable practices and the importance of waste reduction and renewable energy. We are proud to work with schools, universities and community groups to promote a culture of sustainability.

Our commitment to innovation

We continuously invest in new technologies and processes to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our biomethane production. By embracing innovation, we strive to maximize the environmental and economic benefits of our operations.

ECHS can produce up to 33,000 MWh of biomethane per year, which means:

1 750 000 km on CNG

which means the car will circle the globe 44 times

3 500 households

heated per year

7 000 tonnes ofCO2 emissions
