BioCirc

Bertel Maigaard took the stage earlier this week at the NET ZERO Pathways Conference, representing BioCirc and our vision for a green energy future. At BioCirc, we are dedicated to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in the circular bioeconomy, focusing on creating integrated circular energy clusters that generate green energy in the form of electricity, gas, fuel, and heat. During his presentation, Bertel highlighted some of our ambitious projects, including our efforts to achieve large-scale carbon capture and storage (CCS) and one of our lighthouse cluster projects, ‘Vesthimmerland Go Green’. By 2036, BioCirc aims to store more than 1 million tons of biogenic CO2, making it the largest CCS project in biogas to date, while continuously developing our circular energy cluster platform to maximize local CO2 abatement. The conference, hosted by Aalborg Kongres & Kultur Center and Green Hub Denmark provided a platform for collaboration and discussion on accelerating the green transition through innovative technologies like #Power-to-X, #CCS, and #EnergyClusters. #NZp2024 #BioCirc #GreenTransition

At BioCirc, we believe that innovation and collaboration across sectors are crucial to achieving a green transition. Today, Anders Christian Nordstrøm, CEO, Power-to-X and by-products, joined an expert panel at DNV's series "Financing the Energy Transition" in Copenhagen. The discussion focused on CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage) and BECCS (Bioenergy with Carbon Capture and Storage) – key levers for reducing CO2 emissions and accelerating the path to net-zero. As BECCS gains momentum, particularly here in Denmark as a central part of the country’s climate strategy, these conversations are vital. We’re excited to contribute BioCirc’s expertise on integrating circular energy clusters, biogas, and Power-to-X into this evolving landscape. A big thanks to DNV and the leaders from across sectors. #EnergyTransition #CCUS #Biogas #PtX #Sustainability #BECCS #CarbonCapture #GreenTransition #Innovation

A new innovative sand-washing technology for dairy farmers In partnership with DLG Group, we are launching a new sand-washing technology designed to revolutionize manure management in Denmark's dairy sector.

Tre af BioCircs Go Green projekter er en del af de statsligt udpegede energiparker på land Som en del af indfrielsen af Danmarks ambitiøse klimamål, har Plan- og Landdistriktsstyrelsen i dag meddelt, at BioCircs Go Green energiprojekter i Jammerbugt, Vesthimmerland og Viborg er en del af de statsligt udpegede områder til energiparker. Bertel Maigaard, CEO for BioCirc, udtaler: "Vi er yderst tilfredse med udpegningen af vores projekter. Det er en anerkendelse af vores tilgang til lokal grøn energiproduktion gennem cirkulære energiklynger." Udpegningen af områder til energiparker er et led i den overordnede plan for indfrielse af klimamålene. Som en konkret ændring i energilandskabet skal der i 2030 stå fire gange så meget vind- og solenergi på land, som der er sat op gennem de seneste mange år. Derved firdobles elproduktionen fra sol og vind på land frem mod 2030, så den går fra ca. 12 til 50 mia. kWh. BioCircs cirkulære energiøer på land kombinerer flere grønne teknologier, herunder biogas, solenergi, vindkraft og Power-to-X. Den integrerede tilgang betyder, at en BioCirc energiø fortrænger mange gange mere CO2 end en traditionel sol- eller vindpark, hvilket gør vores projekter til en afgørende faktor i kampen mod klimaforandringerne. Vi ser frem til at fortsætte arbejdet med at udvikle og implementere lokale energiløsninger, der gør en reel forskel for miljøet og samfundet. ---- English version ---- Three of BioCirc's Go Green projects are part of the state-designated areas for energy parks on land As a means to achieve Denmark's ambitious climate goals, it has been announced that BioCirc's Go Green energy projects in Jammerbugt, Vesthimmerland and Viborg are part of the government-designated energy parks. Bertel Maigaard, CEO of BioCirc, states: "We are extremely satisfied with the designation of our projects. It is a recognition of our approach to local green energy production through circular energy clusters." The designation of areas for energy parks is part of the overall plan for achieving Denmark’s climate goals, and as a tangible change in the Danish energy landscape, there will be four times as much wind and solar energy on land in 2030. Thereby, electricity production from solar and wind on land will quadruple towards 2030, from approx. 12 to 50 billion kWh. BioCirc's land based circular energy clusters combine several green technologies, including biogas, solar energy, wind power and Power-to-X. This integrated approach means that a BioCirc energy clusters displaces many times more CO2 than a traditional solar or wind farm, which makes our projects a decisive factor in the fight against climate change. We will continue the work on developing and implementing local energy solutions that make a real difference to the environment and society.

BioCirc wins significant share of the NECCS fund for major CCS project We are thrilled to announce that BioCirc has been awarded a significant portion of the NECCS funding by the Danish Energy Agency. The initiative is a key step towards achieving Denmark's ambitious climate goals by enabling negative CO2 emissions through advanced carbon capture and storage (CCS). About the project: BioCirc is set to capture and permanently store over 1,000,000 tons of biogenic CO2 from our biogas production between 2026 and 2036. This volume is equivalent to the annual direct CO2 emissions of approximately 133,000 Danes. Our plan involves enhancing our biogas plants with CO2 capture units that will allow for the transportation of captured biogenic CO2 to underground storage facilities over 1,500 meters below the surface at Gas Storage Denmark's Stenlille site. Why this matters: The captured CO2 will be permanently stored, reducing the atmospheric concentration of CO2. The project, which is set to be the largest of its kind from biogas to date, supports our mission to displace carbon emissions by integrating cutting-edge technology into our operations. It represents a new chapter, not only for BioCirc but also for our joint efforts in environmental conservation and sustainable energy practices. Strengthening the leadership team: In conjunction with these developments, we are also strengthening our leadership team. Anders Christian Nordstrøm, with vast experience in green transformation from Ørsted, joins as CEO of our Power-to-X division, which includes our CCS activities. Anders's deep expertise will drive the development of projects from innovation to scalable and implementable solutions. Our vision: Looking beyond the NECCS period, BioCirc aims to utilize the biogenic CO2 in our land-based circular energy clusters to produce green fuels such as e-methanol through Power-to-X technologies. This will enable a shift towards sustainable energy solutions within hard-to-abate sectors such as transportation and heavy industries. We are proud to play a pivotal role in Denmark’s journey towards carbon neutrality and look forward to sharing more updates as we progress. #GreenEnergy #SustainableEnergy #CCSTechnology #DKgreen #DKpol #CarbonCapture #CCS #Biogas

DLG and BioCirc tightens the collaboration with the agricultural sector In a strategic partnership, DLG and BioCirc are committed to ensuring that the value created by the agricultural sector in renewable energy production remains within the sector. Hence, the parties are now presenting a model where farmers can make agreements for the supply of livestock manure, get a degassed product back with a lower climate footprint and at the same time get the opportunity to invest in BioCirc's current energy production and future energy projects, that will ensure a green local production of electricity, gas, fuel and heat. This brings the agricultural sector even closer to the value creation that the industry contributes to the green transition. Key highlights: - Biomass agreements: Farmers supply biomass and receive a digested product with a reduced carbon footprint as fertilizer for their fields. - Investment opportunities: Engage directly in BioCirc's ongoing and future green energy projects, extending beyond local biogas facilities to include solar and wind energy, and technologies like Power-to-X and bio-refining. The initiative marks a significant milestone nearly a year after DLG Group's largest investment in the green transition, becoming part of BioCirc's ownership group. Join us in celebrating initiatives ensuring a more sustainable future where agriculture plays an active role in powering the green transition, one biomass agreement at a time.    #RenewableEnergy #SustainableAgriculture #GreenTransition #CircularEconomy #Biogas
