As part of an environmental project, Valorizon and Avergies have chosen Waga Energy to recover biogas from the Albié non-hazardous landfill in Monflanquin in Southwestern France.
The future WAGABOX® unit will produce around 12 GWh of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) per year, equivalent to the energy consumption of 3,000 households.
Scheduled to be operational by the end of 2025, the unit will help avoid the emission of 2,400 tonnes of CO2 per year by replacing fossil natural gas with biomethane.
The gas produced will be injected directly into GRDF’s distribution network to supply homes and businesses.
The Monflanquin site, which processes almost 30,000 tonnes of waste every year, is mobilising local and regional stakeholders to maximise biogas capture and thus reduce its impact on the climate.
Waga Energy has collaborated with Valorizon to optimise the biogas capture network, which was previously flared. This biogas will now be transformed into biomethane, providing a clean, local, transportable and renewable source of energy for the region.
“The partnership with Waga Energy is a real step forward for our project and for the region," said Pascal de Sermet, chairman and CEO of SEM Avergies. "Thanks to its cutting-edge technology, responsiveness and recognised expertise, we were able to design an innovative and sustainable solution.
"The project represents not only a profitable economic opportunity, but also a contribution to the local energy transition. Once again, we are proud to be able to implement an environmentally-friendly approach to supply locally-produced green gas for the benefit of the inhabitants and businesses of Lot-et-Garonne.”
