• Already received an order valuing more than 3.5 million Euro
• Larger reference plant with 2.8 MW of electrical power

Bielefeld, Germany, August 16th, 2007. The BIOGAS NORD AG, Bielefeld, has
successfully entered the Romanian biogas market. The company has been
commissioned to construct a larger biogas plant featuring 2.8 MW of
electrical power. The value of the order is approximately 3.5 million Euro.
The ordered biogas plant will be built in the Transylvanian region close to
the county town of Oradea. 'This order proves that we are successfully
proceeding with the internationalization of BIOGAS NORD and that the trend
towards larger biogas facilities is continuing', explains board director
Dr. Holger Schmitz.

Through the operation of this biogas plant, the client would like to make
use of synergy effects resulting from the construction of a biodiesel
plant, which is also being planned. In so doing, the waste products
resulting from the production of biodiesel, such as rapeseed pellets and
glycerin, will be brought to the biogas plant as substrates. The warmth
produced in addition to the generation of electricity at the biogas plant
will then be used for the biodiesel plant. The plant will also be flexibly
designed so that corn silage and porcine liquid manure coming from
agricultural operations from the surrounding area can be brought in.

The plant consisting of three digesters, two second digesters and three
storage containers will allow BIOGAS NORD to be a reference object for more
than just the Romanian market. 'As a result of their site located in the
region bordering Hungary, the interest of Hungarian investors will also be
spurned', declares Rainer Thiel, the person responsible for Eastern
European marketing at BIOGAS NORD. 'We're currently conducting intensive
negotiations with potential customers in both countries.'
