The industrial biomethane production plant in La Galera (Tarragona) has successfully completed the first injection tests of this renewable gas, from the management of biodegradable organic waste, into the gas network. This installation, promoted by Enagás, is the first private connection to the gas transportation network in Spain.
The plant thus becomes the second biomethanization plant connected to the transportation network of our country, after the Valdemingómez Technology Park, in Madrid. The plant will generate and inject into the gas network a maximum production of 50 GWh/year, which is equivalent to the average annual consumption of 6.300 homes.
Enagás has designed the service Green Link to facilitate the connection of biomethane production and other renewable gases to the high-pressure gas pipeline network. Through the Green Link initiative, Enagás facilitates the connection of biomethane production and other renewable gases to the high-pressure gas pipeline network. Thanks to this project, the Enagás gas pipeline network has the capacity and is technically prepared to assume an eventual exponential growth in connection requests. Green Link contributes to decarbonization by promoting a flexible and efficient connection of renewable gases, and promotes the development of the circular economy thanks to the recovery of organic waste.
