TotalEnergies unveils largest biogas plant in France

The largest biogas production unit in France is now operational and feeding biomethane into the natural gas transmission network operated by Téréga.

The BioBéarn facility in Mourenx was built by TotalEnergies – the 18th launched such plant by the company in the country – and has a maximum capacity of 160GWh and is located.

Operating on organic waste, it will produce 69 GWh this year and then is expected to ramp up progressively to keep pace with the rapidly growing demand for biogas.

The project will convert 220,000 metric tonnes of organic waste into 200,000 metric tonnes per year of digestate, a natural fertilizer, and 160 GWh of biomethane.

“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,” said Olivier Guerrini, vice-president of the Biogas Business Unit at TotalEnergies.
