TV 2 Funen wrote earlier on Tuesday evening that there had been a serious work accident at the Flemløse Biogas plant, where a witness the media had spoken to said that it involved a silo which had collapsed.
Here it was heard from the media that the police confirmed the accident.
According to the National Emergency Management Agency’s online data and reporting system, the emergency services received an alarm call at 18:04 on Tuesday with the message “rescue, collapse”.
The police and “relevant authorities” are still working on the scene on Tuesday evening. There is no message about time horizon.
Flemløse Biogas was built in 2020.
The facility, in full operation, has the capacity to produce seven million cubic meters of gas for the natural gas grid, according to the company’s website. This corresponds to heating 3,500 detached houses or 112 million kilometers driven in passenger cars.
Since 2020, the company behind has applied to expand the biogas plant with a desire to further increase capacity.
The gas at the plant is produced from manure, deep bedding, trimmings from seed grass fields, discarded vegetables from local vegetable growers and maize.
