XRGI - Model BIOGENIC - Combined Heat and Power Plant (CHP)
The XRGI® BIOGENIC from EC POWER creates a circular and sustainable energy system. The set assignment: Biogenic gases play an important role in reducing the climate footprint. Biogenic gases occur during the fermentation and decomposition of organic matter under anaerobic conditions – such as manure, sewage sludge, food waste and other biological waste products. Using biogenic gases from waste for energy production ensures a state of net-zero CO2 emissions. The CO2 is captured by the biomass before you use it as an energy source, which means that the carbon is circulated in short cycles. This achieves a balance between the amount of carbon emitted into the atmosphere and the amount of carbon removed from the atmosphere.
Biogenic gases consist mainly of methane, which is also the main component of natural gas. Methane is a high-quality fuel, but also 20-40 times more climate-damaging than CO2. Even small amounts of methane cause a significant greenhouse effect. Methane must therefore be combusted to reduce its climate impact.

The XRGI® BIOGENIC from EC POWER creates a circular and sustainable energy system.
EC POWER’s XRGI® BIOGENIC runs on biogenic gases to generate heat and power on-site. XRGI® BIOGENIC can be used wherever biogenic gases are created and captured. This happens primarily in agriculture, wastewater treatment, food waste recycling, and landfills. Filtering the biogenic gases before use enables the XRGI® BIOGENIC to run on many different gas qualities.
Green electricity on-site:
The biogenic gases from your waste product are burned in the highly efficient engine of the XRGI® BIOGENIC. The engine runs a generator which produces electrical power.
Green heat on-site:
Heat arises as a by-product in the XRGI® BIOGENIC. This heat is returned to the biogas plant to ensure the correct temperature for the fermentation process, high gas yields, and good process stability.
High-quality fertiliser:
The residual biomass is a better-quality fertiliser and much less problematic for soils and waters than the original raw manure. It is more easily absorbed by plants, which ensures that less nitrate seeps into the aquatic environment.
Less smell from the biomass:
The residual biomass does not smell as strong as raw manure; the organic compounds that smell have been degassed during the biogenic gas production.
