Pomurska biogas power plants

HUN-SLO renewable energy

Situated within 50km of the Slovenian-Hungarian border, the Pomurska-based plants run primarily on maize silage procured from Hungary and Slovenia.

The site is an example of inter-country cooperation in renewable power generation. It also serves as an organic waste management solution, processing digestible waste from both countries.

Once processed, the end result is biogas, used for heat and electricity, and digestate, a nutrient-rich fertilizer, which is ploughed back into Hungarian and Slovenian soil.

Ongoing investment in procurement, production, research, efficiencies, technology, and innovation increases the value production as a demonstration site for biogas performance. Its facilities run 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Located in Križevci pri Ljutomeru in the Pomurska region, the 4MW/hour plant processes 70,000 tonnes of maize silage annually, utilising state-of-the-art production methods to generate power through biogas. >3000 tons of digestate is produced annually, ploughed back into both Hungarian and Slovenian soil as nutrient-rich fertilizer.

Innovation at Pannonia Bio Gas is continuous, with which we have made gains in feedstock efficiencies, yields and volumes. These improvements make the operation ever more secure for long term success and development in the region. Ongoing investment in procurement, production, research, efficiencies, technology, and innovation increases the value production as a demonstration site for biogas performance. The plant runs 24-hours a day, seven days a week.

Sustainable organic waste solution

Crop silage and crop waste are currently utilized as feedstock at Vučja Vas with plans to expand feedstock methodology.

Converting these wastes into biogas prevents them from going into landfills where the resulting methane and other gases would otherwise be released as harmful greenhouse gases (GHG), many times more powerful than carbon dioxide at warming the Earth and contributing to climate change.  By controlling and optimising the digestion process, Pannonia Bio Gas accomplishes the dual purpose of creating renewable energy whilst mitigating climate change.
