Regulatory News:
Air Liquide (Paris:AI) continues to expand its capacities in
biomethane, also known as Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) in the U.S.,
with the construction of two new production units. These units,
located in Center Township, Pennsylvania, and Holland Township,
Michigan, will treat waste sourced from dairy farms. Following a
circular economy approach, these units will contribute to the
emergence of a low-carbon society.
These production units will produce biogas from manure feedstock
in an anaerobic digester for a total production capacity of 74 GWh,
and return the digested waste for the farms’ needs, promoting
circular economy in waste management. Using Air Liquide’s
proprietary gas separation membrane technology, the biogas will
then be purified into RNG and injected into the natural gas
grid.
Air Liquide has developed competencies throughout the whole
biomethane value chain, starting with biogas production from waste,
to its purification into biomethane to be injected into gas grids
or compression/liquefaction with storage and transportation to
customers. Air Liquide currently has 26 biomethane operational
production units in the world for a yearly production capacity of
about 1.8 TWh.
Armelle Levieux, member of Air Liquide’s Executive
Committee and Vice President of Innovation: “With these two new
biomethane production units, Air Liquide is reinforcing its
presence in the U.S. RNG production market. These investments in
the U.S. are in line with the priorities of our strategic plan
ADVANCE for 2025, which inseparably links growth and a sustainable
future. Biomethane is part of the portfolio of solutions developed
by Air Liquide to support the decarbonization of its customers in
the industry and transport sectors. ”
