Biogas and biomethane: turning our waste into energy

Purified biogas, known as biomethane, which has equivalent characteristics to those of natural gas, can be used in natural gas networks or as engine fuel. A renewable energy source as promising as it is virtuous…

Biogas OVERVIEW AND CHALLENGES Biogas refers to all gases produced via the biological or chemical conversion of biomass/biowaste. Once the gas has been purified to meet regulatory requirements, biomethane can be injected into the natural gas networks or used as a fuel. There are two principal methods of producing biogas

Biomethane production: a lever for the circular economy!

The development of methanisation sectors is part of a drive to create a circular economy that simultaneously serves three purposes: treat waste, supply energy ( biogas a), and produce fertilizers
