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 the full article in which Francisco Repullo, president of the Spanish Biogas Association (AEBIG), explains the above information and points out that only about 50 of the facilities are agricultural or livestock-related, despite this subsector holding more than 75% of the potential for biogas production. The same is true for biomethane (which can be injected into the gas network). According to the expert, of the more than 1.000 biomethane plants in Europe, Spain has only five.
