"Magic Factory" Sem, Norway 2020 - Venue
The workshop will be held at the Magic Factory in Sem, Norway
Den Magiske Fabrikken
Taranrødveien 97
3171 Sem
Norway
The Magic Factory is owned by Greve Biogass (Municipality of Tønsberg) and operated by Lindum. The biogas plant started operation in 2015. It has a capacity of 60 000 t of food waste and 50 000 t of animal manure. The gas from the plant is upgraded to biome thane and serves 80% of the buses in the region. The treatment costs are low and the inclusion of manure improves the process and reduces greenhouse gas emissions from the area.
However, the magic factory goes much further than that and shows how to close the nutrient cycle with strikingly simple and innovative technology. They have integrated a teaching centre into the facilities in order to be able to communicate the green shift that is taking place, which can be observed on-site.
Some infos on the Magic Factory can be found in Norwegian here.
How to go there
