"Chilseong Energy Agricultural Cooperative is a specialized company for livestock manure energy conversion based in Cheongyang-gun, Chungcheongnam-do, leading the way in achieving carbon neutrality in rural areas through renewable energy production using livestock waste. Since its establishment in 2009, it has introduced high-efficiency anaerobic fermentation technology to convert livestock manure into biogas and generate electricity, presenting an eco-friendly model that goes beyond simple waste treatment to co-exist with the local community through electricity and liquid fertilizer production."

Business Areas

• Livestock Manure Energy Conversion and Renewable Energy Generation: The company collects livestock manure from farms in the Cheongyang area, extracts biogas in its large-scale anaerobic digesters, and converts it into electrical energy through a combined heat and power generator. The generated electricity is sold to Korea Electric Power Corporation to generate profit.
• Livestock Manure Treatment and Resource Utilization: The company produces renewable energy by converting organic waste, such as livestock manure, into energy, and processes over 95% of the pig manure in the region through its livestock manure treatment facilities. This is a resource circulation model that solves water and air pollution problems caused by livestock waste.
• Production/Supply of Eco-friendly Compost and Liquid Fertilizer: Manure from which methane gas has been removed during the livestock manure fermentation process is produced as high-quality compost and liquid fertilizer and supplied free of charge to farms in the Cheongyang area. Approximately 90,000 tons of compost and liquid fertilizer are applied to about 800 hectares of farmland annually, and drone pest control services are also provided.

Products

• Electrical Energy: Electrical energy produced using biogas extracted from livestock manure is sold 100% to Korea Electric Power Corporation. It can generate up to 1.5MW per hour, producing approximately 9,000MW of electricity annually.
• Liquid Fertilizer and Compost: Liquid fertilizer (liquid manure) and compost generated during the livestock manure treatment process are eco-friendly agricultural materials supplied free of charge to local farmers. They are effective for crop growth and are in high demand by farmers.
• Hot Water for Heating: Waste heat generated during the power generation process is used to produce hot water for heating, which is supplied free of charge to facility farms, such as nearby tomato cultivation greenhouses. Through this, farmers save approximately 140 million won in heating costs annually.

Special Notes

• High-efficiency anaerobic fermentation technology and KSBM method: Through its proprietary core technology, high-efficiency anaerobic fermentation technology, and the KSBM (Korea Standard Biogas Method) process, which improved German technology to suit Korean conditions, the company efficiently converts livestock manure into energy.
• Local co-prosperity and resource circulation model: The company has established an exemplary model that fosters co-prosperity with local farmers and completes a resource circulation economy through livestock manure treatment, electricity production, hot water supply using waste heat, and the production and free supply of eco-friendly liquid fertilizer/compost.
• Odor reduction technology: The chronic odor problem of biogas plants has been solved using a 'wet scrubber' method, significantly improving unpleasant smells around the facility and reducing complaints.

Recruitment Information

• Benefits: Provides four major insurances, including National Pension, Health Insurance, Employment Insurance, and Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance.
