Mayor Kim Bora Emphasizes "Resident Communication as Top Priority"

Anseong City in Gyeonggi Province is actively engaging in communication with residents to establish an integrated livestock manure bioenergy facility.

On the 6th, Anseong City announced on the 7th that about 40 residents from Goeun and Bangcho-ri in Iljuk-myeon, along with Kim Geon-ho, Director of the Anseong Agricultural Technology Center, and related officials, visited the livestock manure biogas facility in Seosan City, Chungnam Province.

The on-site visit was conducted following the instruction of Mayor Kim Bora of Anseong to prioritize resident communication during the project process, after the integrated livestock manure biogas facility project in Iljuk-myeon passed the Ministry of Environment’s national subsidy project review in September.

The resource-circulating biogas facility in Seosan City, operating since 2020, converts a total of 320 tons per day of organic waste?including 100 tons of livestock manure, 50 tons of food waste, 70 tons of feces, and 100 tons of sewage sludge?into biogas. This facility is equipped with deodorization systems such as negative pressure facilities, air curtains, and triple-stage chemical washing to block odor generation during the gas production process.

Park Hye-in, team leader of the Livestock Policy Division at Anseong Agricultural Technology Center, said, "This joint visit was a good opportunity to resolve residents’ distrust and share opinions," adding, "We will create a high-quality deodorization system to alleviate concerns about odor generation."

Meanwhile, Anseong City is promoting an integrated livestock manure biogas facility in the Iljuk-myeon area that processes 120 tons per day of organic waste, including 110 tons of livestock manure and 10 tons of food waste. This is in accordance with the Act on the Promotion of Production and Use of Biogas Using Organic Waste, which mandates local government heads to produce biogas starting in 2025.
