Groenewoud Gas: Large-Scale Biogas Production | Powering 1000 Homes with Biogas from Cow Manure

At Groenewoud Gas, Dutch entrepreneur Frank van Genugten has pioneered an innovative approach to biogas production, transforming fresh cow manure into renewable energy. This large-scale system processes manure from 18 dairy farms, generating 32m³ of biogas per ton, which is then injected directly into the local gas grid—powering 1,000 households annually. Beyond energy production, the process significantly reduces methane and nitrogen emissions, mitigating climate impact while producing circular by-products such as bio-based fertilizers and peat alternatives. Despite regulatory and financial hurdles, this model showcases the potential of biogas as a scalable solution for sustainable agriculture. #Biogas #SustainableAgriculture #ClimateFarmDemo
