The Genesis Biopartner Group officially inaugurated a new biogas plant in Cordun commune
was an example of sustainable organization
guided tours of the plant and other activities dedicated to promoting environmentally friendly practices
The inauguration was attended by local and national officials
business representatives and business partners
marking an important step for the development of renewable energy in Romania
Among those who took to the Oktogreenfest stage were the Minister of Environment
the General Commissioner of the National Environmental Guard
together with representatives of Genesis Biopartner: Mihai Pal
General Manager of the company and Michael Dietrich
The inauguration was organized with a special focus on sustainability
reflecting Genesis Biopartner’s values and vision
The event included activities such as the planting of trees inside the station’s courtyard as a sign of commitment to the environment
Guests were also invited to take guided tours of the station to get an up-close look at the state-of-the-art technologies used to convert organic waste into renewable energy
“Our biogas plant in Cordun is the second biogas plant we have inaugurated
after the one in Filipestii de Padure 13 years ago
one in Timisoara County and one in Dolj County
and we have three other sites in the country where we are developing
It is the most modern station of its kind in Romania
biomass or food residues and transforms them into biogas
into thermal energy and electricity which is injected into the grid
We are talking about a big environmental impact in terms of recycling organic waste
instead of being harmful to the environment
rotting and emitting methane – the biggest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide – is recycled and turned into heat and electricity
We want to expand in all regions of the country
where we have developed other projects in the past
because we have been welcomed with open arms and we have a favourable environment for development
We aim to become the largest processor and recycler of biodegradable waste in Romania
We have been waiting for this day for 13 years and I am extremely happy and excited to be here today
for which I would like to thank the whole Genesis team,” Michael Dietrich said
Biogas plant – a sustainability project
part of the innovative Sustementality for live by Genesis Biopartner concept
will process organic waste and convert it into electricity
heat and organic fertilizer with minimal environmental impact
The sustementality concept represents a vision of the Genesis Biopartner Group to promote a sustainable mindset for sustainable living
closing the natural waste cycle and contributing to the circular economy
we can process quite large capacities of different types of waste
we have a generous waste processing hall with robust
which can produce more than 1,000 cubic meters of biogas per hour
we produce electricity that we deliver to the national energy system
and we produce heat energy that we use for self-consumption
the most important thing is that at the end of the process we end up with an organic
where our raw material that we had at the beginning of the process came from
original concept – ‘Sustementality for life’ – where we try to set an example: with a healthy mindset we will be able to do something for future generations,” Horia Bardeanu explained
The Cordun biogas plant will initially create 20-25 direct jobs and dozens more will be generated indirectly through local collaborators and suppliers
The investment also supports local budget and infrastructure development
strengthening Cordun as a regional economic hub
“This station helps us to recycle food waste from the Moldovan region and creates new jobs
Such projects are essential for economic development and the return of those who have gone abroad,” Adrian Ciobanu said
“I am glad to see that when we talk about the environment and how we leave our children
we manage almost 2 million tons of biowaste every year
higher costs – in the end – for citizens who pay the sanitation tax every month
and I appreciate to see that there are situations where
we manage to have such investments,” Mircea Fechet added
a pioneer in the development of renewable energy projects and sustainable solutions in Romania
is a holding dedicated to investments in biogas plants
builds and operates state-of-the-art biogas plants
resulting from the operational experience gained in over 12 years of activity
with a capacity of 2.13 MW electrical and 2.00 MW thermal
The group is also building two other biogas plants in Pischia
Pischia and Almaj will have an installed capacity of 2.99 MW electrical and 2.87 MW thermal
