Allround Maintenance Technician

Green Logix Biogas has been active since 2008 under the brand name Bio Energy in the valorization of organic waste streams into commodities: digestate as an elementary raw material for new crops, hot water and steam that can be used by industrial partners as process heat or electricity sold to renewable energy suppliers. As the second largest bio-CHP in Flanders, our firm ambition is to be and remain the leading digester in terms of innovative entrepreneurship: released resources are reinvested to increase the efficiency of existing processes or to integrate new processes. In Lommel, we are consistently known for our far-reaching ambitions and driven entrepreneurial spirit.

Green Logix Biomethane was developed as a concept site since 2019 and was established in 2023 in response to the increasing demand for alternatives to fossil natural gas. This new site doubles our total processing capacity for organic biological waste to an annual volume of 240,000 tons/year.

The construction of the new biomethanation site started at the beginning of 2023. Biogas production was started by the end of the year. The biogas purification plant and the injection station were put into service at the end of 2024.

The site is unique from many perspectives: it is the first site in Flanders to produce biomethane on an industrial (large) scale. It is also the first site to inject directly into Fluxys's transmission network. On the waste side, this installation has a digestion volume of 10,100 m³, equivalent to a processing volume of 120,000 tons of OBA/year. The biomethanation unit has the capacity to purify 1800 Nm³ of biogas (60% CH4) to 900 Nm³ of biomethane (>97% CH4) and 8000 tons of liquefied biogenic CO2.

In addition to the possibility of purifying biogas to biomethane, the site also has 2 new Jenbacher biogas engines for a total capacity of 2MW. With this, the Green Logix group has a total installed biogas engine fleet of 6.5 MW. The combination of biogas engines & biomethanation unit allows us to optimally valorize the biogas as a function of market condition evolution.

The installation has ample storage facilities for the reception of liquid and solid biomass. Waste is processed 100% indoors according to the highest environmental standards.

Our company is growing and our employees are pioneers in sustainability.

What drives us is more than technology alone. We genuinely want to make a difference. By giving waste a second life, we contribute to a circular economy and to a greener future for our children.

Together we make energy greener, step by step, with respect for people and nature.
