Already at the beginning of January 2023, COOX Capital GmbH received its first mandate for the issuance of a participation certificate for a Bio-LNG-project.
„We are pleased to have received another mandate. In this case, it is a Bio-LNG-plant that is financed via a participation certificate.“
Henning Schmale, Co-Founder and Partner of COOX Capital GmbH
Bio-LNG-project: Regional and sustainable circular economy solely based on farm fertiliser
Bio-LNG will be produced from farm fertiliser produced exclusively within a radius of 20 km via a modern Biogas plant to be newly constructed. The bio-LNG will be marketed on site by the emitter. Placing Bio-LNG on the market, provides the legally guaranteed authorisation to sell so-called greenhouse gas quotas (GHG) via certificate trading until at least 2030.
This specific circumstance explains the profitability.
Farm fertiliser
Farm fertiliser is a collective term for organic substances that are accrue when operating fattening farms. These include, for example, liquid manure, dung and straw.
Farm fertiliser contains nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are important for plant development. It can be applied directly to the fields or fermented in biogas plants. Biogas is produced from it.
In this project, only farm fertiliser is used to run the biogas plant. This is in contrast to many existing biogas plants, which are operated with renewable raw materials such as maize, wheat and grass cuttings.
Procurement security
Within a radius of about 20 km around the planned biogas plant are about 1,500 farms operating with pig, cattle and poultry breeding. The required biomass equals is about 12% of the available quantity.
The advanced stage of project planning and the secured land are crucially necessary for the success of this project. Given that GHG quota are guaranteed for only six years, this project is one of the last to benefit thereof.
