Biomethane is generated from organic waste from urban sources (municipal solid waste landfills, water treatment plants) or from agricultural and livestock waste. Therefore, biomethane production:
- Promotes the circular economy, providing a solution to the problem of waste management and the CO2 emissions it generates;
- Fosters energy independence, because the raw material is indigenous, and does not have to be imported from outside the country;
- Contributes to job creation and population fixing in rural areas;
- It is the only renewable energy that can be stored seasonally.
In addition, another important advantage is that it is one of the few current renewable sources of continuous production (24/7). If we feed the production plants with waste, they will produce biomethane, which can be stored underground and used, for example, in winter.
