据钻机地带1月13日报道，法国超级能源巨头道达尔能源在法国启动了其第18个沼气生产装置，这将是法国最大的沼气生产装置，最大产能为160吉瓦时。

这个位于法国西南部的穆伦克斯(Mourenx)，以有机废物为原料，名为BioBéarn的新装置，已开始向Téréga运营的天然气输送网络输送首批生物甲烷(一种可再生的、脱碳的、当地生产的气体)。

2023年其产能将达69吉瓦时，然后逐步增加，以跟上快速增长的沼气需求。

表明道达尔能源致力于促进循环经济的该项目，将每年将22万吨有机废物转化为20万吨沼液（一种天然肥料）和160吉瓦时生物甲烷，相当于32000人的平均年消费量。

BioBéarn将使Lacq流域（一个历史悠久的天然气地区）实现本地和可持续的增长，这一新装置每年将避免排放32000吨二氧化碳。

BioBéarn的开发始于2016年，涉及所有当地利益相关者，包括来自农业和食品行业、当地社区等200多人，使该项目能够适应该地区的需求和潜力。

道达尔很自豪能够使用法国最大的沼气装置，并感谢所有项目利益相关者的支持。这座新工厂是道达尔致力于推广沼气的一部分，沼气是一种加强国家能源主权和循环经济发展的清洁气体。

道达尔沼气业务部副总裁Olivier Guerrini宣布，该项目使道达尔的沼气生产能力提高到700吉瓦时，是实现到2030年达到20太瓦时目标的新一步。

TotalEnergies Launches 18th Biogas Production Unit

French supermajor TotalEnergies has launched its eighteenth biogas production unit in France, which will be the largest in the country with a maximum capacity of 160 GWh.

Named BioBéarn and located in Mourenx in the south-west of France, this new unit, fed with organic waste, has begun feeding its first cubic meters of biomethane – a renewable, decarbonized and locally produced gas – into the natural gas transmission network operated by Téréga.

It will produce 69 GWh in 2023 and then ramp up progressively to keep pace with the rapidly growing demand for biogas.

The project, which illustrates TotalEnergies' commitment to promoting the circular economy, will convert 220,000 metric tons of organic waste into 200,000 metric tons per year of digestate, a natural fertilizer, and 160 GWh of biomethane, equivalent to the average annual consumption of 32,000 people.

BioBéarn will enable the Lacq basin, a historical gas area, to pursue a local and sustainable growth, this new unit allowing to avoid the emission of 32 000 tons of CO2 per year.

The development of BioBéarn began in 2016 and involved all local stakeholders, including over 200 from farming and the food industry, the local community,allowing the project to adapt to the needs and potential of the territory.

“TotalEnergies is proud to commission France's largest biogas unit and would like to thank all project stakeholders for their support. This new plant is part of TotalEnergies' commitment to promote biogas, a clean gas that strengthens the country's energy sovereignty and the development of the circular economy.”

“This project allows TotalEnergies to increase its production capacity to 700 GWh in biogas and is a new step in the objective to reach 20 TWh by 2030," declared Olivier Guerrini, Vice President of Biogas Business Unit at TotalEnergies.
