Biomethane projects in Europe: Biorig’s international presence

Spain is the hub of Biorig’s operations and the country in which the company has its most extensive portfolio. Its potential in the agricultural and livestock sectors enables the development of large-scale projects directly linked to the rural economy.

Context: high availability of agricultural and livestock waste and a biomethane market that is still underdeveloped.

Biorig’s plan: to consolidate its extensive project portfolio and make Spain its main production hub.

Activity: developing its own projects from the initial stages, in collaboration with farmers, livestock farmers, local authorities and local businesses.

Plant model: industrial-scale facilities, located close to the source of the waste and fuelled exclusively by agricultural and livestock raw materials.

Italy enables Biorig to grow in a market characterised by industrial expertise and a specialised supply chain. The company also benefits from the presence and expertise built up by Solarig, Biorig’s parent company, over more than 15 years in the country.

Context: a more mature biomethane market, with specialist suppliers and support schemes for renewable gases.

Biorig’s plan: to accelerate its growth by capitalising on Solarig’s established presence and expertise.

Activity: combining our own projects with the incorporation of local initiatives at advanced stages of development.

Plant model: smaller-scale, more widely distributed facilities, tailored to the local availability of agricultural and livestock waste and agri-food by-products.

Poland offers an opportunity for long-term growth due to the scale of its agriculture and livestock sector and its need to diversify its energy supply. Biorig aims to build a portfolio there from an early stage of market development.

Context: significant potential for agriculture and livestock farming, coupled with the need to reduce dependence on imported gas.

Biorig’s plan: to build a significant portfolio in one of the European markets with the greatest growth potential.

Activity: combining new projects with the integration of established local initiatives, in collaboration with local developers and partners.

Plant model: facilities tailored to the resources of each agricultural region, designed to make use of local waste and produce biomethane for the Polish market.
