Energiefonds Overijssel invested EUR 4.77 million in Brouwer Biocentrale to establish a 10 MW bio-energy cogeneration facility, enhancing local renewable energy production and sustainability efforts.

Information on the Target

Brouwer Biocentrale, operated by the Brouwer brothers, focuses on processing biomass to generate energy and steam. The facility is set to implement a bio-energy cogeneration (bio-WKK) system, which will have a capacity of 10 MW. The biomass will be employed for a variety of purposes, contributing significantly to sustainable energy practices.

Additionally, the generated electricity and steam will primarily support FrieslandCampina, a major dairy cooperative, while any surplus electricity will be fed into the local grid. This initiative marks an important step towards utilizing renewable resources in the region.
