An agricultural school and production facility in southern Denmark had the ambition of reducing its carbon footprint and turning the facility’s own waste into an energy resource.

In 2023, GreenFarm installed a system that significantly reduces the facility’s CO₂ emissions by using manure from its production to generate heat, electricity, and optimised fertilizer, all utilised locally on the farm. In early 2024, an innovative carbon capture and storage (CCS) system was integrated, capturing the entire biogenic CO₂ stream from the power units’ post-combustion exhaust. This will enable carbon-free power and heat generation from the biogas facility.

The GreenFarm system’s overall impact includes reducing greenhouse gas emissions, decreasing local water pollution, and creating optimised fertilizer as a byproduct for crop production. Annually, the facility processes 11,000 cubic meters of manure, with initial calculations showing a reduction of 1,500 tonnes of CO₂ emissions.
