HKScan in cooperation to use pig, cattle manure for biogas production
HKScan is working with Gasum on plans to switch to manure-based feedstock at a biogas plant in Huittinen, Finland.
The plant would use mainly local pig and cattle manure to produce biogas. As one of HKScan s contract partners, contract pig meat producer Emomylly Oy has also committed to the project.
Gasum and HKScan are together planning to convert Gasum s existing biogas plant in Huittinen to an industrial-scale manure plant. The proposed plant would be Finland s first industrial scale biogas plant using manure as its main feedstock. The plant would utilise 60,000 tonnes of various feedstock of which 50,000 tonnes would consist of various manures and agricultural side streams. Basic planning of the plant will be completed at the turn of the year, and the plant would be ready to receive manure-based feedstocks in autumn 2021.
