It is with pleasure we announce that Morten Gyllenborg has agreed to step in as CEO of Renew Energy A/S, marking the beginning of a generation change as well as a nudge of direction change, towards larger projects in select markets and in close partnerships with likeminded entrepreneurs across the globe.  

Morten Gyllenborg joins with almost two decades of experience from the energy industry, of which the last half has been within development and optimization of bioenergy projects.

“I am very happy to join Renew Energy, and I look forward to both working closely with the team as well as the board. My focus will be dual on both keeping the team at the state-of-the-art,
and focus on improving the core of the company, which is known for being both
far ahead and far abroad.

We will be targeting select markets both geographically as well as technologically, utilizing the company’s patented technology and knowhow, and the ambition will be growth in collaboration with a variety of partnerships. So stay tuned.”

In September 2018, a diverse group of 13 professionals from the U.S. biogas sector traveled to Denmark to learn about the Danish approach to biogas and particular policies and innovations related to development and operation of Danish biogas systems. The four-day tour was organized by the Danish Trade Council, and included meetings with policy makers, and tours of biogas plants, integrated gas treatment and odor control systems, and food waste preprocessing facilities.

During the four-day tour the delegation visited Nature Energy Månsson – the largest “organic” to bio-methane plant in Denmark – where Renew Energy have delivered design and engineering. Renew Energy have been the process advisor and also been the supplier of core biogas plant units including a receiving section for solid biomass.

Poul Ejner Rasmussen (CEO of Renew Energy) participated in the tour and felt a very pleasant atmosphere and good mood among the participants. He notes that he has got some very interesting contacts that he will follow up and keep in touch with.

Jan Thorup Hansen (The Renew Energy Project Manager on the Månson Biogas Project) took part in the presentation of Nature Energy Månsson and felt that the US delegation were very enthusiastic about what they saw

Construction of Trenton Biogas has finally begun after several years of planning and attempt to close finance. Now according to the plan it is expected to be done by the end of October 2019.

The objective of Trenton Biogas is to build an efficient plant for converting organic waste from local households and businesses into useful methane gas, an environmentally-friendly fuel. 

“This is a highly efficient system for converting organic waste from households and businesses into useful methane gas, in order to produce electricity with reduced amounts of carbon. This will help communities in Mercer County reduce disposal costs in an environmentally-friendly way by making use of new technologies.” said Peter Joseph, Chairman of Trenton Biogas. 

Towns and institutions currently pay significant fees on the waste they send to distant landfills. Trenton Biogas will offer an alternative disposal route for food waste at a lower cost. This will make it more appealing to separate food waste from the normal trash streams. 

Renew Energy is responsible for the basic engineering design of an advanced anaerobic digestion system with front-end and back-end technologies that uses pre- and post-consumer food waste as the feedstock to generate renewable electricity for local consumers and valuable fertilizers for agricultural amendments.

Trenton Biogas is located in Duck Island, Hamilton Township, New Jersey. It is rebuilt from an inactive sludge drying facility constructed in 1992. It will be the first large-scale facility of its type in New Jersey.

The Danish Finance Minister Kristian Jensen has now officially inaugurated Denmark’s first organic biogas plant.

Representing an investment of DKK 130 million (≈ EUR 17.4 million), the Nature Energy Månsson biogas plant in Brande converts ecological chicken litter and vegetable waste to ecological biomethane/green gas for injection into the national gas grid.

Renew Energy has been a responsible process advisor and also been the supplier of core biogas plant units including a receiving section for solid biomass.

“It has been exciting to take part in the design, engineering and construction of the Nature Energy Månsson Biomethane Plant. Although Renew Energy has many years of experience in designing biogas plants, the challenge has been that no plant is identical. That is why it has been important to use our long experience and know-how to design a flexible and well-functioning plant. New biogas plants require much higher flexibility regarding raw material composition. As a result the project has invested in a large solid biomass receiving section, where a crane / grabber mixes up the solid biomasses before it is sent into a premix system that size-reduces the biomasses and mix it with a reflux stream of digestate to form a pumpable mixture that is sent into the biogas reactors. Pumpable biomasses such as food waste / industrial waste, glycerine and manure are introduced to the reactors via separate feed systems” says project manager Jan Thorup Hansen, Renew Energy and supplements:

“We have built the reactors with a pump room in between the three reactors so that maintenance and service are easy and convenient. With an external heat exchanger for each reactor we ensure an optimal and very stable temperature in the reactors”
