Silkeborg Forsyning A/S is the local energy and water supplier in Silkeborg Forsyning, Denmark. In addition to various heating networks, the company operates a sewage treatment plant, which not only produces clean drinking water, but also recovers sewage gas as a waste product. This sewage gas is converted into heat and electricity by the 2G CHP plant, and does so extremely efficiently.
Silkeborg Forsyning A/S therefore not only produces green electricity and heat, but also saves considerable amounts of CO2.
