Microbes at work
Working with the small to explain the big. In the laboratory are bottles full of busy little microbes. Scientists take care of them, choosing what they love to eat and getting the right balance to fuel Europe with renewable biomethane. This photograph is dedicated to everyone engaged in research and development because producing biomethane also depends on doing science. This involves not only days and nights of number-crunching, observations and studies, but also innovative projects, technological creativity and unimaginable perseverance.

Biomethane rainbow
A beautiful rainbow appeared over the new biomethane plant of the Società Agricola Palazzetto, Italy. The company is cutting-edge and over the years has invested not only in bioenergy but also in animal welfare and soil protection (minimum processing and organic fertilisation with digestate). The new biomethane plant can produce 5,000,000 cubic meters/year of biomethane to be fed into the grid, which equates to a saving of over 11,000 tonnes/year of CO2.

From Italy, 7000 tonnes of liquefied biomethane per year!
Italy: this is how 7000 tonnes per year of liquefied biomethane are produced! It all starts with 120 local livestock farms that send their effluent (manure, slurry, and poultry manure) to two plants (Motta Energia and EBS), where it is treated and transformed into biogas. The biogas generated by the anaerobic digestion process is then purified into biomethane via two membrane upgrading systems and converted to liquid form using two liquefactors. It is then destined to supply about 200 trucks. This generates a virtuous cycle of resource management, optimised land use, production of renewable energy, and reduction of emissions.

Geometric view of the biomethane virtuous cycle
This photograph showcases a biomethane production facility, CERES, located in Breuvannes-en-Bassigny (52240), France. It depicts the various professions that make up the biogas sector: anaerobic digestion, farm input, silage, containers for the upgrading of biogas into biomethane and gas injection. This stunning aerial view highlights the diverse geometric shapes that make up the site. A subtle blend of industry and agriculture, combining colours, materials and forms to create decarbonised energy and a greener future.

Strength is found in serenity
“energy(R)evolution”. We use grass and straw, among other feedstocks. In this way, agricultural by-products are converted into clean energy. After fermentation, the leftovers are used as high-quality fertiliser. We already supply 500,000 people with climate-neutral electricity.

BiogasTec biogas installation Albertstroom NV
Wouter Platteau, executive director at BiogasTec, and project leader Stijn De Ridder can be seen at Albertstroom NV, one of BiogasTec’s 6 operational installations. With an installed capacity of 13 Mwe, the Albertstroom site is the largest installation in the BiogasTec portfolio (the installed capacity of the entire portfolio amounts to 26 Mwe) and is one of the largest biogas projects in Flanders. The ability to process all types of waste, including packaged waste, the optimal on-site use of heat and electricity and the close cooperation with nearby companies all make Albertstroom NV a forward-looking, state-of-the-art installation.

Be circular
Biomethane is the epitome of a circular economy. By turning waste into value, we offer stable renewable energy production and at the same time we ensure that all nutrients are recycled and used as fertiliser for tomorrow’s food production. Like the bees that pollinate the crops, biomethane is an indispensable cornerstone linking the organic waste our need for food inevitably generates to a sustainable energy source that also produces fertiliser for ongoing food production. In this circle, biodiversity plays a decisive role. Be the future. Be circular. Be like the bee.

Moa’s magic brown bin
When Moa Klingsell contacted Biogas Academy to say she drove a biomethane car and wanted a logo sticker to show it, Biogas Academy was more than happy to help. Soon Moa came back with a new request: “I’ve been talking to the owner of the restaurant where I work. We would like to make our organic recycling more visible to our guests and to catering customers”. Thanks to Moa and chef Petter, the lunch guests at Asplund’s restaurant are now being taught how the handling of food waste can contribute to Sweden’s decarbonisation.

We produce Europe’s smartest fuel
: At Hagelsrum dairy farm in Målilla, Sweden, the Birgersson family is showing Europe the path to sustainable energy independence. The oldest of three siblings, Tom Birgersson (left) is in charge of biogas production and upgrading on the farm. Tom also operates public biomenthane fueling stations in five nearby towns. Treating manure from neighbouring farms, the Hagelsrum digester supplies the region with both high-quality fertiliser and sustainable energy. With the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the 2022 RePowerEU energy plan to replace imported natural gas from Russia, the Birgersson family has created a model for all of Europe to copy.

Biogas balloon on the site of the intermunicipal waste company, EcoWerf
The photo was taken during a tour of the site of the intermunicipal waste company, EcoWerf. On 17 March 2023, EcoWerf opened its new anaerobic digester, which produces biogas from organic waste. About 50,000 tonnes of organic waste can be processed every year. The organic waste is first digested and then mixed with green waste for further composting. The biogas produced can be valorised locally in a CHP. 25% of the energy produced is reused in the company’s own buildings and installations; 75% is distributed via the electricity grid. This results in a CO2 saving of approximately 5000 tonnes per year. In this way, EcoWerf helps Flanders to achieve its climate objectives.

Estuaire biogas plant
An operations agent overseeing the Estuaire biogas plant facilities. The picture shows part of the purifier pipeline, which converts the biogas into biomethane by removing elements such as CO2. In the background is one of the two digesters. The facility extends over a small area (1.3 hectares) and is unique in that it brings together several private and public operators.

Aumaillerie biogas plant
Night view of the digester and process building of the Aumaillerie biogas plant. When the materials arrive on site, they are stored and then transported to the process building where they are mixed in a hopper. Once mixed, they are transported to the digester where they remain for approximately 50 days, the time required for the digestion process to break the materials down and produce biogas.

Using BioLPG to reduce the emissions of a leading dermocosmetic manufacturer
BioLPG or biopropane is a renewable liquid gas that is particularly relevant for La Roche-Posay. The product is a drop-in replacement for LPG, has no impact on the performance of La Roche-Posay’s manufacturing activity and is easily incorporated into the distribution network of Primagaz France (SHV Energy). La Roche-Posay is happy to see its contribution to global emissions reduction furthered using bioLPG.
