We lead the biomethane value chain<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

We transform organic waste into clean energy and generate an organic fertiliser that benefits both the environment and the rural environment. Biomethane plants optimise the management of agricultural and livestock waste and generate products with a positive environmental impact that benefit the rural communities in which they are implemented, through the generation of training and employment opportunities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

1.  We valorise waste<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\n

We collaborate with the primary sector, helping to manage agricultural and livestock waste and reduce emissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Procurement<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The biogas and biomethane production process starts with the procurement of organic raw materials (in the case of Biorig, only slurry, manure and straw -mainly corn straw-). <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Target<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aim is for the plants to be centres that transform organic waste into green energy and contribute to solving the waste management problems that currently exist in the primary sector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Biomethane, a renewable gas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Biomethane is a green gas that can be injected into the grid without the need to adapt to the infrastructure and is easily stored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Anaerobic digestion<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The recovery of local agricultural and livestock waste allows biogas to be generated, which is then purified to obtain biomethane.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Upgrading<\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the biogas upgrading process has been carried out, the plants separate the bioCO2<\/sub> from biomethane, which has the same characteristics as natural gas of fossil origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. We capture biogenic CO\u2082<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Our facilities will capture more than 300,000 tonnes of bioCO\u2082 from the anaerobic digestion of agricultural and livestock waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Emission reductions<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

These molecules can be used in the agri-food market, as well as in the production of sustainable fuels such as SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuels).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Biogenic CO2<\/sub> applications<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Waste from agriculture and livestock farming is responsible for 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions in Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. We produce organic fertilisers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We produce an organic fertiliser with great agronomic potential from the digestate resulting from the anaerobic digestion of agricultural and livestock waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Digestat<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>e<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to producing biogas, anaerobic digestion generates a by-product with great potential for use in agricultural soils.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Approved fertiliser<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The digestate is processed and sanitised according to the guidelines of EU Directive 2019\/1009, which results in a certified organic fertiliser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biomethane production process<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n
\n
\n

The production of biomethane from waste is an energy recovery process that goes from the production and collection of organic waste to its injection into the gas grid as a gas of renewable origin.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
