The province of San Juan will take a key step towards renewable generation with the installation of its first biogas plant. An initiative aimed at supplying electricity to more than 1,200 homes by harnessing crops and organic waste.
The project will be carried out by the company Biogeneradora Centro SA, based in Córdoba, which will allocate 7.96 million dollars to build a plant with an installed capacity of 2.8 MW, capable of producing 19,300 MWh per year, of which 17,520 MWh net will be injected into the Argentine Interconnection System (SADI).
The project will be implemented on a 150-hectare site in the Rawson department, near the border with Pocitos:
147 hectares will be used for corn cultivation, the main energy input
Organic waste such as manure and food waste will be added
The process will be carried out through anaerobic digestion
The complex will generate 44,000 tons of biofertilizers per year, as a high-value environmental by-product
The proximity to the OSSE sewage treatment plant (just 2 km away) facilitates logistics for organic waste management.
