nordfuel plant at c-Port

As the general contractor for one of Europe’s largest and most modern biomethane plants at the c-Port on the Küstenkanal in the district of Cloppenburg

  • searched for and evaluated the location

  • the complete project planning of the plant with all necessary preliminary stages and digestate processing

  • took over the construction management

  • ensured the commissioning of the nordfuel GmbH plant for the production of green fuels (biomethane and bio CNG)

nordfuel plant in the Cloppenburg district

Technical details:

  • Processing of approx. 1 million tons of farm manure (surplus manure and slurry) per year to produce green fuel in the form of LNG

  • Annual capacity: approx. 7,400 Nm3/h biomethane

  • Annual feed-in: approx. 690 GWh

  • 70.00 T/a of liquid CO2 is extracted

  • 8000 T/a NH3 liquid ammonia is removed from the fermentation residue

The plant will use a variety of technologies that are coordinated in detail.
For example, a fully automated “feeding” of the plant with manure will take place via two cranes working in parallel.
Efficiently operated digesters (energy input of < 55 kW per 10,000 m.) and effective purification technology (pressure swing adsorption) combined with a screw compressor system are particularly noteworthy.
