Poshike Biomass Energy Center SDGs in Practice Capable of processing 110,000 tons of livestock manure per year. Generates an estimated 876 thousand kWh of electricity per year. Reduces CO2 emissions by 6,000 metric tons per year. Introduction The Poshike Biomass Energy Center is a biogas power generation facility set up by the Environmental Protection Agency. Subsidies are provided to animal husbandry operators Hualien County in the recycling of livestock manure. Poshike Biomass Energy Center serves as a model for the development of similar power generation facilities elsewhere in Taiwan. The center collects 300 tons of livestock manure per day, anaerobically processing the manure through circulating pumps to turn biogas into biomass energy, while the residue becomes excellent fertilizer. Benefits Up to 110 thousand tons of livestock manure are processed per year, which significantly reduces the problems of wastewater and odors in the animal husbandry industry. Resources are reused to create a circular economy. 16
