Behind-the-scenes look at the BMW Bio2Watt biogas plant

BMW South Africa’s Rosslyn plant now receives renewable energy from a Bio2Watt biogas plant – here is a behind-the-scenes look at the plant.

"The Bio2Watt biogas plant in Bronkhorstspruit is located on the premises of one of South Africa’s larger feedlots – Beefcor."

I didn't know we had Feedlots in South Africa

Some sizeable feedlots in South Africa.

Here it is on Google maps.

I wonder what the typical cost for a project of this magnitude is like.

MW output?

MW output?

4.4MW if I read right.

Biogas is an awesome concept, for sure. However it doesn't make feedlots any less ill-advised for the future of the planet (not to mention morally questionable)

Cool! I guess it would also be relatively stable output as well. I wonder when our sewerage works will all get these too.
