Part of the success of the Solrød biogas plant is the extent to which the plant raises public awareness. In the administration building there is a seminar room for groups and classes, which visit the plant.

The delivery area for substrates is enclosed and the air is purified by a biofilter so that neighbors do not have to smell the plant.

Køge Bay is an area with a large amount of cast seaweed and algae. The municipality and partners tried many collection methods before sticking with the relatively simple front-loader with rake. The method, however, requires a high level of skill.

The residents of Solrod were the driving force behind the construction of the biogas plant. The unpleasant odour was affecting living conditions and property value. The local homeowners' association organises the beach cleaning activities with fees collected from its members and gives regular updates on the progress - through its own magazine as well as social media platforms.
