I would like to have precise information on the purification methods used and on how GDF buys the gas

I prefer the more direct solution, of the type to purify and compress to turn the tractors of the farm where there is the methanizer ... the purification must be just sufficient for the material used, no need to guarantee the quality for the network

carbon fiber tanks less susceptible to corrosion than steel

given the heavy consumption of the tractor it will never replace all the diesel consumed all year round ... so it can be done with limited size tanks which partially supply the diesel engine

Biomethane: first power station connected to the gas network in Finistère

The biomethane plant produced its first cubic meters of gas last Monday. The Secretary of State for the Ecological Transition Sébastien Lecornu inaugurated it on Thursday May 31, in Châteaulin, in Finistère.

By M.Hamiot Posted on 01/06/2018

The Vol-V group has inaugurated a first biomethane production site connected in Brittany to the GRTgaz transport network.

The Châteaulin biomethane plant produced its first cubic meters of gas last Monday. Gas instantly reinjected into the national transport network. A first in Brittany.

This site will inject 32 million kilowatt hours (kWh) of renewable gas per year, or more than 3 million cubic meters per year.

Engie invests in a start-up to produce biogas at home

AFP on July 24 2018

Engie announced Tuesday the acquisition of a stake in the Israeli start-up HomeBiogas, which makes it possible to produce biogas at home.

The 13% stake, for an unspecified amount, should accelerate the development of the company "both in Europe and in emerging countries," said the French energy giant in a press release.

HomeBiogas, launched in 2012, offers a small biogas digester (a sort of anaerobic digester) that produces gas and fertilizer from food waste from the kitchen. According to HomeBiogas, it is thus possible to produce up to two hours of gas each day.

The digester, to be assembled at home, can be ordered online for 650 dollars. It is intended for families with a garden and living in a rather warm climate.

Hendrik Van Asbroeck, director of Engie New Ventures, the French group's investment fund, praised the "simplicity and intelligence" of the young Israeli startup's business model. The latter targets both emerging countries, as an alternative to charcoal and wood, and developed countries.

Energy: agriculture must accelerate its transition to anaerobic digestion


AFP 11 September 2018

Only 500 methanization units are in operation in France, while the Ministry of Ecological Transition intends to accelerate the development of this renewable energy sector, we learned Tuesday during a meeting at the trade fair breeding (Space) in Rennes.

"This is a very modest development compared to the objectives of (the former Minister of Agriculture) Stéphane Le Foll and compared to what is being done in other European countries", noted Gilles Petitjean, director of Ademe (French Environment and Energy Management Agency) Brittany.

Of these 500 units at the national level, 80% are of agricultural origin, the others being the fact, for example, of communities or factories, in particular in the food industry.

Launched in spring 2013 by Mr. Le Foll and the Minister of Ecology, Delphine Batho, the "Energy Methanization Autonomy Nitrogen" (EMAA) plan provided for "1.000 methanizers on the farm in 2020", with the dual objective of reducing fertilizers chemicals by replacing them with nitrogen from livestock effluents and to develop renewable energies as part of the energy transition.

At the end of March, the Ministry of the Ecological Transition announced a series of measures aimed at accelerating the development of this sector, making it possible to envisage a new breath for methanation.

This makes it possible to produce gas - from the fermentation of agricultural residues or household waste in particular - which can then be injected into the gas network or be burned to produce electricity.

The energy transition law sets the objective that 10% of gas be from renewable sources in 2030.

Another advantage of anaerobic digestion in agriculture: allowing diversification and an additional source of income for farms, said Mr. Petitjean.

Currently, around 80 agricultural methanization units are operating in Brittany. "We need to achieve 50 to 100 installations per year" in the region, argued the representative of Ademe.

Compared to other renewable energy sources, one of the advantages of anaerobic digestion is its "flexibility". This technique has "the capacity to adapt its production in real time": to produce more or less, according to the needs at a given moment, underlined Jean-Philippe Lamarcade, regional director Enedis.

Anaerobic digestion can also provide gas which has "a large storage capacity, unlike electricity", developed Éric Feuillet, biomethane project manager at GRDF. There are currently "50/60 biomethane installations attached to the network in France," he said.

Often cited as an example, the comparison with Germany, which had 2.300 anaerobic digestion units in 2017, is proving difficult, the participants estimated, because "here, we work with waste, while in Germany, they spend corn "in their units.

Finally, yes, corn in Germany is a bit of a caricature argument. This is largely true (there are large units supplied with crops of corn or elsewhere, rye - they have giant varieties that are taller than tractors!). But they also methanize their waste (and come to collect it in Alsace!). They also recycle their plastics better - and corn has nothing to do with it.

It is in the Tarn, our friend Kercoz must have heard of it:

Trifyl to invest more than 60 million euros in its new Tarn methanisation plant

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT, MARINA ANGEL on 26/10/2018

Good news The Tarn joint union Trifyl plans to set up a new methanisation unit on its Labessière-Candeil site (Tarn) by 2022. First act of concretization of the project: the signing of a connection contract to the Teréga transport network.

Image
The renewable energy center of Labessière-Candeil de Trifyl will welcome a new methanisation plant by 2022.

Without waiting for the start of construction of its new anaerobic digestion unit planned for 2020, the Tarn joint union for the recovery of household and similar waste, Trifyl, has just signed a contract for connection to the Teréga gas transmission network , the manager of the gas transport network for the large quarter of Southwest France.

Upstream of the construction site for its new factory, valued at more than 60 million euros, Trifyl will therefore initiate a first operation which will allow it to inject its production directly into the network.

2,5 million euros for a 2,8 km pipeline

This first project, whose cost is around 2,5 million euros, consists of installing a 2,8-kilometer pipeline to connect the Trifyl site of Labessière-Candeil, in the Tarn, where the new methanization plant will be built. , in the neighboring municipality of Graulhet, where a new source substation is to be installed for the actual connection to the network. The works, which will be spread over 5 to 6 months, will be started before the works of the new factory.

"The signing of this connection contract must be seen as the first stone of our new industrial project", underlines Daniel Vialelle, president of the mixed union. It is also an illustration of Teréga's desire to support the development of the injection of new sources of biogas into its network on its territory (the Greater South West of France). Two first source stations of this type are already operational, one in Lot-et-Garonne and the second in Pyrénées-Atlantiques.

"That of Tarn will be the third, but we already have seven other projects in advanced negotiations in New Aquitaine and Occitania, for connections scheduled within two to three years," says Dominique Mockly, CEO of Teréga. The new RGM (Reinforcement Gascogne Midi) gas pipeline, inaugurated on October 23, 2018, should help strengthen our transit capacities in these territories. "

The biggest producer of green gas in Occitania

Especially since the Trifyl project is sized to position itself when it is put into service as the biggest biogas supplier in Occitania. The unit to be created in Labessière-Candeil will have a treatment capacity of 121 tonnes of waste per year. It will treat both bio-waste from household waste, those from collective catering and large producers and those from certain bulky items. At the exit, the bio-methane produced will therefore be injected into the Teréga network.

The expected production is around 600 m3 / hour (equivalent to 10% of the domestic gas needs of the inhabitants of Tarn). Certain non-fermentable waste, including residual plastics, will also be recycled, within the framework of a specific production line for CSR (Combustible Solid Recovery).

Four business groups in the ranks

The design-build contract will be awarded in spring 2019. Four groupings have been selected and put in competition. They are respectively managed by the Spanish group Urba Ser, Tiru (subsidiary of EDF), Vinci and Coved. The market provides for commissioning at the start of 2022, a first year of running-in and ramp-up, then operational operation from 2023, which will be entrusted for a period of five years to the contract holder.

The whole of this new system will complement and gradually replace part of the current system based on the recovery of biogas from landfills (the site receives around 180 tonnes of waste per year). The biogas from the existing bioreactor is currently mainly transformed into electricity (000 million kWh produced in 23,8) and partly recovered as biomethane-fuel (2017 m800 per day which feeds the vehicles of the joint union).

Since 2014, a pilot production of hydrogen by reforming biogas (10 kg per day) has also been used to supply an electric vehicle equipped with a range extender running on hydrogen. The ambition is to soon build a new industrial unit producing 100 kg of hydrogen per day. "We fully intend to continue developing these projects", insists Daniel Vialelle.

The new methanisation plant is an additional card in the activities of the joint union. It is also a response to the new regulatory framework which penalizes biogas production solutions from landfill in lockers, considered as a full-fledged storage site. To avoid falling under the TGAP (general tax on polluting activities), a solution had to be found to reduce the use of stored tonnages. Thanks to its new methanisation plant, this will be done.

Trifyl employs a little over 250 agents, including nearly 80 in the renewable energies pole of Labessière-Candeil, where its head office and its R&D teams are based.

Interview with Waga Energy, the French biomethane activist start-up


le18 / 07 / 2018

Meeting with Mathieu Lefebvre, president of Waga Energy (see their site), a French start-up that uses the gas produced by landfills to make biomethane.


Selectra: How was Waga Energy born?

Mathieu Lefebvre: To begin with, we define ourselves at Waga Energy as activists for renewable gas. We are engineers in the gas sector, strongly involved in energy issues, and very concerned with the challenges of sustainable development. Like everyone, we are very aware of the risks of global warming, which our children will have to suffer the consequences, and we have decided to act concretely to make the world more sustainable. Our gas recovery project for waste storage facilities was developed within Air Liquide for 7 years. Today, we are an independent company, even if Air Liquide, minority shareholder, actively supports us.

Selectra: What does Waga Energy mean?

Mathieu Lefebvre: Waga is the contraction of WAsted and GAs: wasted gas. This gas comes from non-hazardous waste storage facilities (ISDND) - commonly known as “landfills”. It is produced naturally by the fermentation of organic materials. Millions of cubic meters of energy gas are lost every hour at storage sites around the world.

...................

Selectra: How does a Waga Box work?

Mathieu Lefebvre: As I just explained, landfill gas is complicated to recover because it contains air. To purify biomethane, we use a two-step process: conventional membrane filtration, then separation at cryogenic temperature. A Wagabox can supply around 3 homes with waste from a city of 000 inhabitants.

Selectra: How many Wagaboxes are in service today?

Mathieu Lefebvre: Three Wagaboxes are in operation. Four more will be commissioned by the start of 2019 and we have other projects underway. Next year we will be one of the main producers of biomethane in France.

State of the anaerobic digestion sector in Île-de-France

31 Jan 2019

As part of its energy-climate strategy, the Île-de-France Region has set a production target of 5 TWh / year of biomethane by 2030, i.e. 14% of the renewable energies to be produced in Ile-de-France . This ambition requires around 240 installations of anaerobic digestion units and the mobilization of a quarter of the physical resources available in Île-de-France. An objective which calls for the support of all public and private actors. Emblematic projects testify to the rise of methanation in the region: Ferme de la Tremblaye Boissière-École (78), SAS biogas Meaux Chauconin-Neufmontiers (77), Thoiry Bioenergy (78),…

Image


Extract from the Quick Note published on January 31, 2019 by the Institute of Planning and Urbanism to provide an update on this subject in Île-de-France:


“Beyond these projects, true demonstrators of the implementation of anaerobic digestion unit, the Ile-de-France sector must respond to several challenges and be part of a global energy transition scheme to guarantee its development. This is particularly to promote social acceptance to accelerate the development of territorial units that can accommodate all types of inputs.

The legal obligations of the energy transition law for green growth on the recovery of bio-waste from professionals and households oblige to accelerate the construction of this type of unit. We must also continue to adapt the gas transport and distribution networks to promote the injection of biomethane, in particular by developing the backflow which will allow gas to flow in both directions and will allow the development of anaerobic digestion to continue.
agricultural, today limited by injection capacities in networks.

On the economic level, it seems essential to develop new outlets for biomethane by accelerating, for example, the mutation of the fleets of buses and NGV vehicles while also developing the stations which distribute this biomethane. In Île-de-France, there are currently 17 CNG charging stations and an additional fifteen are being deployed. ”
