According to Bright Renewables, this signifies the official start of biomethane generation at both locations, ahead of the upcoming Bio360 Expo in Nantes in which the company is participating.
One project is in Amélecourt in the eastern ‘Grand Est’ part of France, while the other is 800 km away in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, the South-West of France.
Only thanks to strong teamwork and coordination, both from the project management and the maintenance and commissioning team on site, these project accomplishments were made possible, commented Samuel Yonnet, Sales Manager France, Bright Renewables.
Policy conducive to RNG expansion
The French government has implemented policies and incentives to encourage the development of biomethane production, and it is expected to play an increasing role in the country’s energy mix in the coming years.
With the Amélecourt and Nouvelle-Aquitaine installations, the company has completed over 20 biogas upgrading projects in France and is currently developing multiple projects across the country.
Aligned to the projects and market growth, Bright’s local maintenance and commissioning team is equipped to enable 24/7 availability and efficient and responsive support.
Biomethane is a key component for France to reach sustainability goals, as it provides a way to produce renewable energy that is compatible with existing energy infrastructure and can be produced locally and decentralized. I am thrilled that with our clean energy technology, we stimulate local economic development, provide energy access to rural communities, and are part of the sustainable transformation of both our clients as well as the of France, ended Samuel Yonnet.
