Nature It has offered to play a leading role in expanding renewable gases in Spain. The energy company has launched a strategy to pioneer the production and distribution of biomethane (derived from biogas produced by recycling organic waste) in the Spanish market.
The group, Spain’s largest gas company and third largest electricity company, currently has two operational biomethane production plants and is working on more than 50 projects at different processing stages. There are currently six production facilities (two own, four more) connected to a distribution network of more than 57,000 kilometers, and the goal is to add new facilities until there are more than sixty in the medium term.
Naturgy also launched a strategy.Promoting the use of renewable gases in homes. The group, through its distributor Nedgia, has already signed three alliances with property developers; They are thus promoting the connection to their network for the use of biomethane in new home construction projects and using equipment that is fully compatible with the use of this renewable gas. .
Naturgy has closed in recent months Agreements with Aedas Homes and Habitat Inmobiliaria and now add one Third alliance with Hercesa | HELLO! Real estate We aim to bring the use of biomethane to the end consumer. Thanks to new guarantees of origin similar to those already available for electricity produced from renewable sources, each megawatt hour (MWh) of 100% renewable gas leads to a guarantee of origin with information on where, when and how the gas was supplied. produced.
Biomethane is biogas obtained by decomposing wastes from agriculture, animal husbandry or wastewater, and is obtained by subjecting it to a cleaning process to make it compatible with existing natural gas, where it can be mixed with a large part of domestic waste. and industrial equipment that today uses gas and is also used in conjunction with existing gas networks. The Spanish gas sector emphasizes that it is local energy production with an industrial effect, a circular economy, and helps decarbonization by reusing organic waste.
