Spain, the third country in the EU with the greatest technical potential to produce biogas, maintains a deep gap in the development of this technology with respect to the rest of Europe. And the fact is that, compared to the almost 20.000 biogas plants that the continent has, the Spanish territory does not reach 250, adding the 3 subsectors: agriculture, livestock, water treatment plants (WWTP) and landfills (such as Valdemingómez).
Read full article in which Francisco Repullo, president of the Spanish Biogas Association (AEBIG), explains the previous information and points out that the minority of the facilities are agricultural and livestock, about 50, despite the fact that this subsector has more than 75% of the potential for fuel production. The same happens with biomethane (injectable into the gas network). According to the expert, of the more than 1.000 European biomethane plants, Spain only has five.
