The concession agreement concerns the temporary purchase and processing of excess biogas produced by the Zaandam energy plant, which processes the sewage sludge from RWZI Zaandam and Beemster. Because production exceeds processing capacity, an interim solution is being implemented: Powercrumbs will build a compressor station and fill biogas containers, which are then transported to construction sites. At these locations, gas engines are deployed to convert biogas into electricity, thereby replacing diesel generators. The agreement is part of a long-term strategy to eventually realize a green gas plant at the RWZI. The procurement is a service contract, negotiated without public announcement, aimed at a start-up specializing in biogas off-take and distribution within the construction and hydraulic engineering sectors.

The Zaandam energy plant processes the sewage sludge from the Zaandam and Beemster treatment plants. It has become apparent that this plant is performing better than previously calculated. More biogas is being produced than we can process. We are working on a definitive solution and intend to build a green gas plant at the RWZI in Zaandam in the future. Until the green gas plant is realized, this serves as an interim solution for the excess biogas produced. Powercrumbs is a start-up focusing on the off-take of biogas from water authorities and its deployment in construction projects, particula

06Frequently asked questions

What is the purpose of this concession agreement?
The agreement serves as an interim solution for the excess biogas produced by the Zaandam energy plant. The biogas is purchased and transported to construction sites via containers using a container swap system to replace diesel generators with gas engines that generate electricity.
What is the role of the party at the RWZI?
The party will install a compressor station at the RWZI at its own expense, which is used to fill containers with biogas. These filled containers are then transported to construction sites for use in gas engines.
In which sectors is the biogas deployed?
The biogas is specifically aimed at deployment in construction projects, particularly within the road and hydraulic engineering sectors.
What is the long-term strategy for the RWZI Zaandam?
The current interim solution with biogas containers is intended until a definitive solution is realized, namely the construction of a green gas plant at the RWZI in Zaandam.
