This laboratory has the capacity not only to produce raw materials needed for the factory but also to sell strains of microorganisms in liquid or solid form with technologies adapted to the requirements of local and international markets An important aspect of this first stage is the close collaboration between Norofert’s team of researchers and technicians and the Faculty of Biotechnology within the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine (USAMV) Bucharest the company has access to scientific expertise and university resources contributing to the isolation and development of microorganisms owned and registered in its name The first stage of the project marks the completion of the construction of a medium-sized laboratory representing an advanced and well-equipped technological space in which the company invested 3 million lei The second stage of the project will start towards the end of 2024 and the total value of the investment will amount to over 6 million lei We use cookies for keeping our website reliable and secure providing social media features and to analyse how our website is used 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 Toy retailer Norial talked to Mediafax about its plans to relocate the factory it owns in a larger space to open new stores and to replicate the business in Hungary Noriel argues that it registered a “double-digit organic growth” in 2014 The company is also testing a new format targeted for babies but Constantinescu says that Noriel will expand based on its standard toy-store format Noriel is going to introduce a pick-up service Online sales increased 60 percent year on year for the toy retailer in 2014 “600-700 of our products are under our own brand, out of 2,000, and we will grow that, especially on the creative toys side, where there is huge potential for development. We’ve reached 40 percent of sales in december and we want to reach 50 percent”, Constantinescu said, adding that these Noriel branded toys are produced by Chinese partners. The company owns a factory in Filipestii de Padure and is planning on expanding its capacity and relocating to a larger space in Prahova Noriel currently employs 150 people in its factory Romanian holding Genesis Biopartner inaugurated on Tuesday the first biogas cogeneration plant in Romania, following an investment of EUR 5 million. Genesis Biopartner comprises Romania’s Baupartner Group – a construction company- and Sweden’s Vireo Energy – a bioenergy producer which is located in Filipestii de Padure locality has a 1MW capacity for electricity generation and 1.2MW for thermal energy Under the current renewable support scheme the project will be granted three green certificates for each megawatt in generates Genesis Biopartner will supply the thermal energy output to a meat processing plant owned by CrisTim Group. This has allowed the plant to lower its costs with the technological steam by around 25 percent, according to Radu Timis, CrisTim Group president. The plant processes 49 tons of organic matter daily which is generated from the nearby agricultural fields The holding plans to further include the waste from CrisTim’s plant in the production chain AB Energy supplied the equipment for the cogeneration installations, while the MT Energie provided the fermentation technology and designed the automatization of the biogas production chain. Romania has little over 40MW of incentivized biomass projects out of which less than 5MW are biogas plants according to data published by grid operator Transelectrica providing social media features and to analyse how our website is used.
