Air Liquide doubles biomethane production capacity




Air Liquide said that it has commissioned three new biomethane production units in US, France, and UK since the beginning of 2018.
With these units, Air Liquide has doubled its biomethane production capacity, which now stands at 60 MW, the equivalent of 500 GWh for a full year of production.
Over the course of the last four years, the group has decided around 100 million euros in investments in biomethane production. Today, the group operates 10 production units around the world, designed to purify biogas in order to transform it into biomethane and inject it into the natural gas network.
The three new biomethane production units commissioned by Air Liquide are located in US (Walnut, Mississippi), in France (Cestas, near Bordeaux), and in UK (Northwick, near Birmingham).
The new biomethane production unit in Mississippi is the first large-scale unit built by Air Liquide in US. It purifies the biogas that results from household waste treatment sites and transforms it into biomethane.
In Europe, the units purify the biogas from farm waste and transform it into biomethane. Part of this biomethane is used for trucks fueled by bio-NGV (natural gas for vehicles), a clean non-fossil fuel with no fine particulates emissions.
