Germany’s energy agency the Deutsche Energie-Agentur has handed Berliner Stadtreinigung the 2014 "Biogas Partnership of the Year" award for its Berlin-Ruhleben biomethane plant.
The award was presented at the agency's annual conference last week.
The anaerobic digestion plant processes biogas created by fermenting organic waste and feeds it into the capital’s gas network, as well as using it to fuel its own refuse collection vehicles.
