Biogas, a versatile fuel derived from the decomposition of organic matter, is becoming a fundamental pillar in the global energy transition. It is estimated that Europe produced 21 billion cubic meters of biogas and biomethane in 2022, a quantity higher than the annual natural gas consumption of a country like Poland and equal to 6% of the total gas demand of the European Union (source: EBA).
In particular, the production of biomethane, the purified and versatile version of biogas, grew by 20% in just one year, reaching 4.2 billion cubic meters in 2022.
But the potential is even higher: by 2050, Europe could produce up to 167 billion cubic meters of biogas and biomethane, significantly contributing to climate neutrality.
This growing availability of biogas and biomethane has a strategic importance for Europe:
Energy security: reduces dependence on gas imports, promoting energy self-sufficiency and source diversification.
Environmental sustainability: biogas and biomethane are renewable alternatives to fossil fuels, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and climate change mitigation.
Investing in biogas and biomethane technologies therefore means investing in a safer, more sustainable, and resilient energy future for Europe.
Biogas is not only a source of clean electricity, but also a true multifunctional tool for the energy transition and environmental sustainability. Unlike intermittent renewable sources such as wind and solar, biogas plants produce energy constantly and adjustably, adapting to real-time demand.
Moreover, biogas is used in sectors that are difficult to decarbonize, such as heavy industry and long-distance transportation, thanks to its versatility and the ability to be converted into biomethane, a renewable fuel equivalent to natural gas.
Anaerobic digestion is a fundamental ally for low-impact agriculture, which contributes to carbon emission reduction and promotes the adoption of organic farming practices.
Cutting-Edge Technologies for Biogas Production: IDRO Group's Commitment
Investing in cutting-edge biogas plants, such as those designed by IDRO Group, means ensuring a stable and secure source of income, thanks to guaranteed contributions for 15 years. The initial investment is directly proportional to the profitability of the plant, which is destined to grow with the increasing demand for renewable energy.
IDRO Group offers innovative solutions such as Agripower, Bovigas, and Wastepower, plants that use anaerobic digestion to transform biomass, livestock manure, and organic waste into clean energy and natural fertilizer.
The advantages of anaerobic digestion are numerous:
Odor reduction: the transformation of waste into stable organic material minimizes odor emissions, improving air quality and reducing environmental impact.
Quality compost: the anaerobic process produces high-quality compost at low energy costs, a valuable amendment for sustainable agriculture.
Green energy: electricity generated from biogas is a renewable, clean, and low-impact energy source, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the fight against climate change.
Sustainable management of livestock manure: reduces methane emissions, produces natural fertilizers, and protects water resources from pollution.
