About

Energiecoöperatie Emmeloord Opgewekt is a cooperative that generates sustainable electricity from biogas produced by natural anaerobic decomposition at the former Friese Pad landfill site. The facility captures landfill gas via pipelines and converts it to electricity through a gas motor and generator, operating continuously. Founded in February 2017, it was the first biogas postcodeproject in the Netherlands. The cooperative serves the Emmeloord region (postcodes 8301-8305) with approximately 300 participants. Members enjoy tax exemptions on energy consumption and reduced tariffs through the government's Regeling Verlaagd Tarief (reduced tariff regulation). Partnership with Greenchoice energy supplier provides additional benefits.
