In partnership with Evo Energy Technologies we provided the Teys Naracoorte plant with an avus 500plus 550 kW Biogas CHP in a 7m x 3m x 3m container module with gas dehumidification and active carbon filtration. Wastewater from the plant is contained in a Covered Anaerobic Lagoon (CAL). The CAL converts this wastewater into biogas, and the biogas then fuels cogeneration equipment for the Naracoorte plant.

Teys Australia is one of the largest beef producers in Australia and has made the initiative to support sustainable beef processing and to reduce environmental impacts, including consumption of energy, water and the amount of waste sent to landfill. Teys has recently developed a 5-year resource efficiency, carbon intensity and renewables investment target – a first in the Australian red meat industry. Teys Australia can expect 2,500 MWh of renewable energy yearly (this is equivalent to the energy usage of 500 average Australian homes). A portion of the electricity and heat within the plant will now be provided though a clean and renewable energy source.
