Object of operation
"Voorwerp van exploitatie" betekent feitelijk: het middel, dat aangewend of gebruikt (= bedrijfsmatig geëxploiteerd) wordt met een zeker doel.
Exploitatie in een zakelijke context betekent "economisch gewin halen uit een onderneming" = operate , operation.
In dit geval wordt kennelijk een inrichting in gebruik genomen om milieuvriendelijk energie te produceren middels een biogasinstallatie.
Wel ben ik benieuwd naar de oorspronkelijke zin in de brontekst.

Further assistance it would be really helpful to know the exact sentence in Dutch.
Presumably your translation could read:
"Through the object of operation environment-friendly energy is to be produced using a biofuel plant."

The English term "object" has several meanings, including:
- anything with a fixed shape or form
- but also: aim, purpose
In this context the use of this term - "object"- in both the heading and the sentence underneath would definitely match and be consistent.

The term "exploitation" in the context mentioned by Jack is correct, but rather refers to the development and use of resources and raw materials for industry or commerce.
If it relates to the running of a business, factory, plant and the like the term "operate" is customary.

Note from asker:
| As mentioned above it is a heading. The term itself does not appear in the text and hence not in a full sentence either. |

exploitation objective
Hmm... strange! Literally 'voorwerp van exploitatie' would mean the 'the object or subject of exploitation', but that doesn't sound quite kosher here. In the context you supply (in English), the term 'objective' would seem more appropriate. But then, the corresponding Dutch term would be 'doelstelling', or something like that. I would agree with writeaway's request for further context in Dutch. Please regard this as tentative answer...

Thanks for the additional information. I believe the correct term is 'object of exploitation'. See http://nfp-bg.eionet.eu.int/cds_eng/BD_Varna/vn6.htm , for example:
"The register of declaration for issue of water consumption licenses and/or water body use includes: Titular of the license, address, locality of the water resource, region, community, settlement, water well, ***object of exploitation***, application, incoming № and date, standpoint"
For further hits, you could google 'object of exploitation' in combination with 'environment', or 'environmental permit' in combination with 'exploitation.
