SUSTAINABLE PARTNERSHIPS FOR CLEAN ENERGY
Transforming waste into Sustainable Energy
Redo's Partners
Meet our biogass production partners who are as committed as redo to creating sustainable energy solutions for a better future, working tirelessly to convert organic waste into clean, renewable energy, helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote environmental stewardship.
The Magical Factory
Located in Telemark region in Norway, The Magic Factory, recycles food waste and livestock manure into biogas, biofertiliser, and green CO2. The food waste comes from approximately 1.2 million residents in Eastern Norway, and the livestock manure is sourced from farms with cows and pigs in Vestfold.
The facility has the capacity to produce biogas equivalent to approximately 120 GWh per year and is set to significantly increase its production capacity in the coming years. This includes building facilities for increased biogas upgrading capacity, planning and establishing facilities for receiving and pre-treating new raw materials, and, not least, developing solutions to optimize the handling of large volumes of biofertilizer.
The Magic Factory is a unique collaboration project that contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions across multiple industries. The unique commitment and strong belief demonstrated by all partners involved with The Magic Factory spanning plant operations, research, development, innovation, recycling, agriculture, and food production are proving that circularity can fix eco-social problems associated with waste management.
Veas
Located in Viken region in Norway, Veas treats the water for around 800,000 people who live and work in the Oslofjord area. We are Norway's largest treatment plant producing over 10 million Nm3 biogass, and one of the few facilities that removes both nitrogen and phosphorus from the wastewater.
Untreated wastewater and runoff from agriculture are some of the main sources of high levels of phosphorus and nitrogen in the Oslofjord. Today, there is five times as much phosphorus in the fjord as there was 150 years ago. Veas is one of three treatment plants around the Oslofjord that removes both nitrogen and phosphorus from the wastewater.
Lindum
Lindum's facility i Drammen is Norway's only commercial processor of sewage sludge. It receives sludge from the entire Drammen region, as well as various fat products, liquid organic waste and fish waste from industry.
Parts of the biogas produced in the process are used as energy to operate the biogas plant, while the rest is taken directly from the digestion tanks to an upgrading plant which upgrades the biogas from 65% methane to 97-98% methane. The compressed gas is filled on container flats, and is used by, among other things, buses in Sande, Horten and Larvik and in the Grenland area. Lindum's facility also has its own filling station which redo distributes biogas through to waste trucks and other gas-fuelled vehicles.
Mjøsa Biogass
The Mjøsa Biogass Facility is a facility located in Innlandet region where food waste is turned into liquid manure, compost and biogas. The food waste comes from 246,000 inhabitants in the 18 municipalities that own the facility via inter-municipal waste companies, in addition to food waste and by-products from business such as large households, grocery stores, restaurants and hotels.
Annual production of biogas is approximately 5,700,000 Nm3. This amounts to 3,500,000 Nm3 of pure methane, which corresponds to approx. 3.5 million liters of diesel/year. That's an amount that can keep 125 buses on the road every year.
