With the support of the Swiss Government under the “EU for the Green Agenda in Serbia” project, BojEn LLC launched today a bio-waste pasteurization facility within its existing biogas power plant. This biogas facility will convert all types of biologically derived waste into clean, green energy while also producing high-quality fertilizer.

Additionally, the facility will enable the processing and disposal of approximately 20,000 tons of bio-waste annually, meeting the needs of all food producers and farms in southern Serbia for proper, eco-friendly waste management. This will help reduce pollution of rivers, soil, and air.

By creating the capacity for bio-waste treatment within the country, our team has achieved a significant milestone. We’ve demonstrated that Serbia can be environmentally responsible, even in its most underdeveloped regions, such as the municipality of Bojnik,” said ?or?e Man?i?, Director of BojEn LLC. The power plant employs advanced biotechnological processes inspired by those used in Switzerland. Every day, two truckloads of waste will be transformed into heat and electricity, which will be supplied to the energy system. As a byproduct, two truckloads of premium organic fertilizer will also be produced, enhancing agricultural productivity in the underdeveloped Bojnik region.

From 50 tons of waste per day, the facility will generate 1 megawatt of electricity. The event was organized as part of the project “Reduction of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Through the Treatment of Biodegradable Waste in the Biogas Plant Bojnik,” implemented by BojEn LLC Novi Sad with financial support from the Swiss Government, within the “EU for the Green Agenda in Serbia” initiative. This initiative, supported technically and financially by the European Union and implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Environmental Protection, is carried out by the United Nations Development Program in collaboration with the Swedish Embassy and the European Investment Bank (EIB). Additional funding has been provided by the governments of Sweden, Switzerland, and Serbia.
