Alltech has opened a state-of-the art energy generation facility in Senta, Serbia.

According to the company, the new plant encompasses many cutting edge technologies and instead of using conventional fuel, it uses the waste from the yeast factory as a raw material. This waste is converted into biogas which is used to power the new co-generation plant, which is the first of its kind in Serbia and one of the first in Europe.

Pictured celebrating the opening of the plant in Serbia are Dr. Bojan Pajtić, current prime minister of the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia; Dr. Pearse Lyons, President of Alltech and Mr. Zoltan Pek, Mayor of Senta.
