Nature Energy has celebrated a major step forward in Denmark’s green energy journey by hosting a traditional Danish Rejsegilde (topping-out ceremony) at its new biogas facility under construction in Abed, Lolland, reports Bioenergy insight.
The event drew more than 100 attendees, including local residents, municipal leaders, business partners, and representatives from Nordic Sugar Danmark, which will play a key role in the plant’s operations. The company will supply 100,000 tonnes of beet pulp annually to the facility and use the resulting biomethane in its own production processes.
The new Abed biogas plant is a key part of Nature Energy’s effort to build low-carbon, locally integrated energy solutions. When fully operational, the plant will convert agricultural by-products into an estimated 20 million cubic metres of biomethane per year, feeding directly into the Danish gas grid.
In a circular model, the green gas produced at Abed will be reused by Nordic Sugar in its own operations, closing the loop between agriculture, energy, and industry.
“Creating the low-carbon solutions we need as a society depends on collaboration, strong local partnerships, and a shared goal,” said Thomas de Boer, CEO of Nature Energy.
As part of the celebration, Lolland Mayor Holger Schou Rasmussen, along with Jannik, Jesper Bundgaard, and Jannik Olejas, marked the occasion by assembling a LEGO wreath, a symbolic gesture honoring Danish tradition and innovation.
