Walvert Mettet
BelgiUM
The Mettet plant, currently under construction, is the first that BTS Biogas has built in Belgium. It will be supplied with livestock manure, local crops, clippings and leaves and other agri-food by- products and will have a power of 600 KWel (equivalent to the consumption of 4-5,000 inhabitants).
With the aim of stabilizing energy prices and participating in the energy transition, the operation was financed by small farmers, local SMEs and, thanks to a crowdfunding project, by 400 citizens in the area, who raised over 1 million Euros to create the world of tomorrow. Ultra-fast charging stations for electric cars will also be installed at the plant
