The Enki Energy bread digester is built in an apartment building in Amersfoort. Thanks to the technical ingenuity of Mr. Simme Andriesma it was possible to place the digester in a confined space. Residents of the apartment building collect leftover bread, that is converted to biogas by the Enki Energy bread digester. I a communal kitchen, the biogas is used for cooking. The residents present at the opening gave a taster of the various dishes that can be prepared in the communal kitchen from now on.
