On the 6th of June around 3 pm , over 300 hoi polloi were walking and place through a well - heated and very noisy instalment room take a maze of tubes and pipes . Over 120 people come to see the new biomass station of the three growers from Sirjansland during its official orifice .
Which could be anticipate , given the fact that it is a unique projection that does not only raise heat from wooden biomass but also CO2 . This is something not before set about on this scale using an initiation consisting of 7 megawatts . The projection saves about 7 million cubic meter of born natural gas a year , with which seventy pct of the rude gas pedal needed is changed to an alternative fuel .

Dick van Noord , Arnold Groenewegen , and Pleun van Duijn : the three initiators
Eggplant agriculturist Pleun van Duijn , together with tomato grower Dick van Noord and Arnold Groenewegen , the initiators of the Sustainable Energy Sirjansland ( SES ) project , took the people who attend back through time . About five years ago , as Pleun enunciate , the entrepreneurs received signals from the grocery , order and the consumer telling them it was necessary to depart guess about an alternative Energy Department source . Geothermal heat energy and bio - zymolysis both seemed unrealizable goals on the location in question , so change necessitate to be made . When the man realized that much of the biomass in the region remain unused , the wheels started turning and the decision to instal a biomass initiation , with a CO2 capture installment that makes the labor so alone , was made .
Operators John Timmers and Johan Sol were thanked for their cause with flowers . Both men helped out the growers a lot as operators in terminus of keep the facility ladder .
No melanise handsThe grammatical construction eventually come out in June of 2018 , but a lot had to happen before construction could really start . It would be too much to write out the total preliminary stage here , but everyone can imagine that the necessary care and tending needed to be give to the people live in the besiege country , the possibilities of gaining biomass from the region and to keep the whole thing as sustainable as potential , not to mention the collaborating itself . During the bout of wish as the speaker themselves called it , which follow Pleun ’s speech , the three mired parties drag attention to the collaboration . Frans Roozendaal of Frames summed it up : “ You really need to be a dare raiser for take on such an adventure together . ”
Many good anecdotes were told as well . Like the one Paul van Hooijdonk of Comgoed , which is in charge of provide the wooden biomass , told about a visit Arnold , Dick , Pleun and himself made to a woodwind instrument burn up installation of a cultivator in Limburg at the start of the project . The grower tattle to the visitant with blackened helping hand .

full automated burning at the stake to 140 degrees CelsiusIt ’s not something that can bump at the Sirjansland positioning . Marc van Bemmel , a representative of the Belgian greenhouse heating plant installer Vyncke in the Netherlands , explain , in brief , the alone installation that attend nothing like the wooden furnace the consumers are often intimate with . Woodchips and Sir Henry Joseph Wood tear up from a bunker are put on a conveyor belt that eventually end up in a kettle where they boil water supply to 140 degrees Celsius . This is a lot warmer than when using geothermic estrus for example , but this special estrus is needed to turn tail the CO2 capture installation .
To view all of the pictures of the installation , see the photo study .
Frans van Roozendaal was the last talker and close off by focusing on a few of the points in which the installation is unique . The size of it , effective heat consumption and also the level of automatization . From the bunker , a crane supplies a constant provision of wooden biomass that , after burning , provides CO2 and a little amount of ash . “ But it is mostly about the compounding of it all that makes this labor special . ”

glow to your heart and soul ’s contentAround three o’clock it was sentence for the official porta and city manager Gerard Rabelink was the one to iron out the clit indicating so . The crane fall into motion , confetti was shot into the air and everyone was able to look around the installment . The operators John and Johan , the three enterpriser and the suppliers involve , as well as the installers , were then able to tell about all of the in and outs involving the project .

The installation was running at half its world power for safety and noise reasons , which will also bechance on the 8th of June during the open day . After that , they can burn to their heart ’s cognitive content and they even demand a quaternary grower ( Organic Brothers ) that will be taking the high temperature . But there is more ripe news : at the ending of 2019 , there will also be solar panels on the roof of the instalment space .
