GreenFarm's Largest Plant to Date Under Construction in Denmark
arrow_backTo the overview28 September 2026 | GreenFarm
After several years of strong activity in the Norwegian market, GreenFarm is now undertaking another major project in Denmark. This time, the project is at Lundegaard Avl og Opformering, south of Sæby, where Søren Østergaard runs a large farm specialising in pig production and arable farming.
The farm covers approximately 1,200 hectares, where potatoes and other specialty crops are among the crops grown. The pig production includes around 1,400 sows and produces approximately 30,000 pigs for slaughter annually. The farm specialises in the breeding and rearing of Yorkshire and Duroc pigs.
The new plant will be a GreenFarm GF140-7, featuring seven engines with a total capacity of 140 kW. It will be GreenFarm's largest plant to date and the first to feature EC POWER's new XRGI Biogenic 20 engines.
Turning slurry into local energy
A large agricultural operation comes with significant energy consumption and substantial volumes of slurry, which will now be utilised for local energy production.
The GreenFarm plant will convert the slurry into biogas, which will power the engines to generate electricity and heat on the farm. This will enable Lundegaard to make use of its own resources to meet part of its energy needs while reducing its dependence on electricity from the grid.
Seven engines and new technology
Lundegaard will be the first GreenFarm project to feature EC POWER's new XRGI Biogenic 20 engines. While GreenFarm's largest plants to date have been equipped with six engines, the new plant at Lundegaard will have seven.
The new engines are designed to run on biogas and offer, among other benefits, an extended service interval of 6,000 hours. This represents a new step in the technical development of GreenFarm's plants and makes Lundegaard the largest project in the company's portfolio to date.
From EC POWER to Lundegaard
The technical building for the Lundegaard plant has now been delivered to the farm, where preparations for operation will continue.
Before reaching its final destination, the building made a stop at EC POWER in Hinnerup, where it was presented on Friday as part of the company's 30th anniversary celebrations. Lundegaard's owner, Søren Østergaard, and Mayor Lars Storgaard performed the official ribbon-cutting ceremony.
On Monday, the technical building continued its journey to Lundegaard near Sæby, where work on completing the plant is now underway.
The plant is scheduled to start operation in October 2026. In November, GreenFarm will host an Open House event at Lundegaard, giving visitors the opportunity to see the new plant and learn more about how a farm-based biogas plant operates.

Our concept reduces greenhouse gases from agriculture by utilizing waste products from agricultural production and converting them locally on the farm. This enables each farm to become partially self-sufficient with energy.
The biogas process leaves a by-product, which is also useful in agriculture – a fertilizer that can be used for crop cultivation.
