FasoBiogaz

FasoBiogaz, ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREE) 2020 - FasoBiogaz is a flagship and pioneering project for Burkina Faso.

FasoBiogaz SARL is an enterprise located in the industrial zone of Kossodo in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, and operates the first industrial biogas plant connected to the SONABEL power grid. With an installed electrical capacity of 275 kW, the plant is transforming slaughterhouse waste and other available organic substrate into biogas and digestat. While biogas is transformed into electricity and injected into the national power grid, the digestat is commercialized as biofertilizer. The project is financed by the Dutch private investor company Van Kersbergen Invest B.V. In the framework of the Private Investor Program (PSI), the Netherlands Enterprise Agency has agreed to reimbursement up to 750,000 EUR based on a results-based milestones agreement. The initial investment amounts to 1,500,000 EUR for the implementation of a plant with an installed capacity of 500 kW. Operating revenues are generated through the sale of electricity and digestat as biofertilizer. In 2015, FasoBiogaz was able to negotiate a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with SONABEL with a desirable tariff for 3 years. With a currently installed power of 275 kW, the plant can daily inject between 4,200 and 4,300 kWh into the grid.
