We participated in the project of the first biomethane station in the South Moravian Region

In the first week of March, in the presence of Minister of the Environment Petr Hladík and Deputy Minister of Agriculture Petr Lanc, the first biomethane station in South Moravia was launched in Rakvice in the Břeclav district.

The operator of the biogas plant processing waste from livestock and plant production is the company BPS Rakvice, which has decided to expand the production of electricity and heat by the production of biomethane. The expected annual production of biomethane is 6.84 GWh. The general supplier is AgriKomp Bohemia.

Our company was the supplier of the container injection unit for this project. It provides analysis and measurement of the produced biomethane and in case of compliance with the parameters required by the legislation and the distribution company, it then injects the biomethane into the gas network.

“We are pleased to have been able to participate in another biomethane production project by supplying the injection technology. We are pleased that, thanks to our cooperation with AgriKomp Bohemia, we could once again contribute to the greening of the gas industry and reduce the Czech Republic’s dependence on natural gas imports.” Said Monika Zitterbartová, Executive Director of HUTIRA green gas.
