BioCycle Case Study Wilhelmsburg by Dorothee Schielein & Steffen Walk (TU Hamburg) (CC BY-SA) The case study is a real-life representation of the BioCycle, the centrepiece of which is a demonstration mini-biogas plant. It is located in the Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg district, more precisely in the Zinnwerke Wilhelmsburg. It shows the cycle from food waste to new products such as biogas and liquid fertiliser, which are used locally. Biogas for cooking and liquid fertiliser to apply on beds. The plant was built in collaboration with students and scientists from Hamburg universities and the local population.Start virtual tour in English Starte virtuelle Tour auf Deutsch
