Through the joint venture The Green Vector (TGV), both companies plan to implement at least ten biomethane production plants by 2030 with the capacity to produce up to 1 TWh of renewable energy each year. These ten plants will allow more than 1,5 million tons of waste to be managed sustainably.
The circular economy model that these plants will introduce will make it possible to generate a network that integrates all the agents in the waste recovery chain - composters, waste managers, farmers, ranchers, agri-food industry - and connects them with the town councils of the different localities and areas close to the location of the plants.
Currently, 'The Green Vector' is promoting five new biomethane production facilities in Spain, whose start-up dates are scheduled until 2026:
In November 2021, the two companies announced the first of the projects: the construction of a biomethane plant in Vencillón (Huesca). This facility, whose construction is scheduled to begin in 2024 and in which an investment of more than 15 million euros is estimated, will be capable of digesting more than 140.000 tons of organic waste (mainly manure) and converting it into biomethane with an energy capacity of almost 100 GWh each year.
In November 2022, the construction of a biomethane plant in Lugo, with an energy capacity of more than 100 GWh per year that will allow the recovery of around 150.000 tons of biowaste into renewable energy per year.
After all, two plants are located in Valencia, one with a recovery of up to 180.000 tons of organic waste to produce more than 80 GWh of energy per year, and another with a planned energy production of 100 GWh from 130.000 tons of biowaste per year. The fifth plant is located in Albacete, with a valuation of 100.000 tons of organic waste to also produce more than 80 GWh per year.
