The new biomethane plant operated by Naturgy.
A facility that will annually produce around 12 GWh/year of renewable gas that will be injected into the grid. nedgia for direct consumption by homes and companies, which will avoid the emission into the atmosphere of 2.450 tons of CO2 equivalent per year.
Spain is the third European country with the highest biomethane production potential, although its current production figures are far below comparable countries such as France or Denmark. According to a study carried out by SEDIGAS, Spain has a total biomethane production capacity of 163 TWh, which would cover around 45% of the current national demand for natural gas.
The entry into operation of the Vila-Sana plant represents another step in Naturgy's transformation and a very relevant milestone for Spain's energy transition.
One of the great advantages of this renewable gas is the promotion of rural environments and the circular economy. When obtained from waste treatment, biomethane contributes to the decarbonization of the primary sector and helps it achieve reduction and recycling objectives. In addition, a digestate is derived from its production that can be used for the production of organic fertilizers, completing the cycle of the circular economy.
“Without renewable gases we will not be able to complete the energy transition,” Raúl Suárez, CEO of Nedgia.
