Enagas Renovable, pioneer company in the development of renewable gases in Spain, and Agropor, a company dedicated to pig farming and a benchmark in the Region of Murcia For more than 50 years, they have signed a collaboration agreement to manage biowaste that they generate on pig breeding farms and convert them into biomethane and organic fertilizers for agriculture.
Through this collaboration, Agropor joins a project focused on the circular economy, with the purpose of achieving the goal of zero waste. A substantial part of the organic waste generated on Agropor's Murcia farms will be transported to the biomethane facilities planned by Enagás Renovable in the region. These waste will be subjected to a digestion process by anaerobic bacteria, which operate in the absence of oxygen, leading to the production of biomethane. The biomethane generated, 100% renewable energy, will be injected into the gas network infrastructure, contributing to the reduction of emissions.
It is a commitment to promote a circular and sustainable economy since the by-products resulting from the process (digestates) will be treated in the facilities themselves, obtaining two organic-based solutions that can be used in agriculture as solid fertilizer through composting and fertilizer processes. liquid (fertigation) through a purification process, complying with current fertilizer regulations. In addition, these organic fertilizers can also be applied in Agropor's agricultural activities, thus complementing its livestock work, in a complete cycle of circular economy.
Anaerobic digestion is a sustainable alternative for the management of biowaste from the agricultural and livestock sector with great environmental and economic benefits. This process avoids depositing waste in landfills, considerably reduces greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere, offers a new sustainable use for biowaste and, in addition, The biomethane produced contributes to the decarbonization of the economy and energy independence.
This agreement allows us to continue advancing in the sustainable management and valorization of waste from the livestock sector in the Region of Murcia, which has great potential for the production of biomethane, a key energy vector for decarbonization.
This is a bet between both entities to promote the circular economy and the generation of renewable energy.
Enagas Renewable will be on October 1 and 2 at the 4th Renewable Gas Hall
