- Hyundai Engineering & Construction has completed its Siheung Clean Energy Center, the first integrated biogas facility for private investment in Korea.
- Biogas is a gaseous renewable energy source produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste, wastewater, and food waste.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction has completed its Siheung Clean Energy Center, the first integrated biogas facility for private investment in Korea.
Also, Siheung is a city in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, with a population of 511,807, 508,646 residents out of 218,846 households.
Hyundai Engineering & Construction held the completion ceremony of the Siheung Clean Energy Center at the Water Environment Center in Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do, on July 3, 2024.
Likewise, Siheung Clean Energy Center is an integrated sewage, food waste, and manure treatment facility with a total floor area of 33,430㎡ square meters in the water environment centre in Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do.
Biogas is a gaseous renewable energy source produced from raw materials such as agricultural waste, manure, municipal waste, plant material, sewage, green waste, wastewater, and food waste.
Moreover, Biogas is produced by anaerobic digestion with anaerobic organisms or methanogens inside an anaerobic digester, biodigester or bioreactor. The gas composition is primarily methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which may have small amounts of hydrogen sulfide (H2S), moisture, and siloxanes.
Biogas generated in Siheung is produced by treating organic wastes such as sewage waste (540㎥/day), food waste (145㎥/day), and manure (60㎥/day).
Furthermore, the produced biogas is chronic in refining facilities and produces about 4.6 million N㎥ of city gas annually. This is enough to be used by about 8,283 households daily and is supplied throughout Siheung.
Hyundai E&C started construction of the main project in March 2021. It was completed on June 28, 2023, after 39 months of air, including 10 months of trial operation. City gas production and supply began in earnest on the day of completion and will be in charge of operation for the next 20 years.
