Biomethane is a renewable gas produced from biogas through a purification or upgrading process.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Biomethane is one of several types of renewable gas currently available. It is obtained from the decomposition of organic waste (agricultural, livestock, urban or industrial), which is purified and can be injected into the existing natural gas network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biomethane is produced from biogas through a purification or upgrading process. This process separates unwanted components from the biogas, such as biogenic carbon dioxide (bioCO\u2082) which can be captured, hydrogen sulphide (H\u2082S), water vapour and other impurities, thus increasing the proportion of methane (CH\u2084) in the resulting gas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biogas is obtained from the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter. Biorig focuses on waste generated in livestock and agricultural facilities, such as crop residues or animal manure. Due to the use of these raw materials, our field of action is located in rural environments, where the agricultural and livestock farms that generate the waste from which the biomethane will be produced are located.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

It is chemically identical to the methane found in natural gas, which increases its potential applications and is key to reducing dependence on fossil fuels.<\/span><\/p>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
