Today, Solvay inaugurates an advanced biodigester at its Ciudad Juarez production site in Mexico. This energy transition project will generate biomethane from organic waste processed locally, replacing part of the natural gas needed to power the site\u2019s boiler and kiln operations. Developed by\u00a0Franco y Asociados<\/a>, the initiative will reduce the site\u2019s CO2<\/sub>\u00a0emissions by 12% versus 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transitioning from natural gas to biomethane has been challenging, but also rewarding. Making it work in this region required overcoming obstacles like securing a steady feedstock supply, refining biogas into usable biomethane, and adapting existing systems – all while keeping it cost-effective. This achievement demonstrates what\u2019s possible with determination and a voluntary commitment to transition to cleaner energy sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis project is particularly important for our site, as energy transitions must be adapted to the unique conditions and resources of our local ecosystem,\u201d said Liliana Villegas, Ciudad Juarez Site Manager<\/strong>. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to contribute to Solvay\u2019s global sustainability vision while making a positive impact on our community. By converting waste into biomethane, we\u2019re not only supporting the Group\u2019s goal of reducing global emissions by 30% by 2030, but also creating a more attractive place for talent to grow and thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re proud to have completed the biodigester installation at Solvay\u2019s facility, managing both the operation and the construction of the pipeline for biomethane transport,\u201d said Rene Franco, CEO at Franco y Asociados<\/strong>. \u201cThis project highlights our dedication to creating waste management solutions, helping both businesses and local communities address challenges while delivering lasting environmental and societal benefits.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Solvay’s Ciudad Juarez site is a key production hub for anhydrous hydrogen fluoride (AHF), which is essential for refining high-octane fuels for the automotive and aerospace industries. AHF is also used in applications like stainless steel pickling, glass etching, and titanium refining. The facility is one of three AHF production sites within Solvay\u2019s global network, alongside locations in Germany and China, positioning it as a key player in the global hydrogen fluoride market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event will bring together local environmental authorities, representatives from local universities, members of the National Association of the Chemical Industry, as well Solvay\u2019s employees and their loved ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
