Thanks to Biogasmax to make emerge a technical status for the bio-methane in France
In France, fuel distribution and use require the government agreement. LMCU (Lille Métropole Communauté Urbaine), Biogasmax project coordinator, received a letter from MEDD (Ministère de l’Ecologie et du Développement Durable, french environmental Ministry) that ranks bio-methane as natural gas.
New development for bio-methane in France
The French Department of Industry will soon allow bio-methane producers the right to distribute bio-methane within natural gas networks. This decision is expected to be finalized in the summer of 2008!
Biogas as fuel, the right choice for valorization of organic waste !
ADEME and Gaz de France ordered a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) to study different process regarding biogas recovery from organic wastes methanisation. This study took four indicators into account : greenhouse effect, acidification, eutrophication and energy. The conclusions, published on september 2007 show that the biogas recovery as fuel for buses and household wastes collection vehicules is the most interesting process. What can strengthen the BIOGASMAX partners in their choices and...
Biofuel Cities, a European Partnership for a larger biofuel use
According the European Energy Policy, Biofuel Cities is a « Coordination Action » project aimed at building European Partnership to increase the biofuel use in the European Union. It offers an opportunity to work together, to engage in exchange and networking. It offers as well an independently access biofuel projects for local governments, industrial and commercial stakeholders and, then, it supports the biofuel stakeholders through informations and tools.
Future biomethane scenario for Stockholm
Biomethane from local feedstock could account for 5% of the total fuel market in the metropolitan area in Stockholm. Sewage, urban waste and agricultural crops not needed for food production are taken into account in the estimations of the potential. 11 large and 15 small biogas plants would produce a total of 570 GWh.
