Over the course of the last four years, the Group has decided around 100\u00a0million euros in investments in biomethane production. Today, the Group operates 10 production units around the world, designed to purify biogas in order to transform it into biomethane and inject it into the natural gas network.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-52287\" src=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/air-liquide-doubles-its-biomethane-production-capacity-banner_0-300x114.jpg\" alt=\"air-liquide-doubles-its-biomethane-production-capacity-banner_0\" width=\"200\" height=\"76\" srcset=\"https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2018\/05\/air-liquide-doubles-its-biomethane-production-capacity-banner_0-300x114.jpg 300w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2018\/05\/air-liquide-doubles-its-biomethane-production-capacity-banner_0-600x229.jpg 600w, https:\/\/renewable-carbon.eu\/news\/media\/2018\/05\/air-liquide-doubles-its-biomethane-production-capacity-banner_0.jpg 905w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>The three new biomethane production units commissioned by Air\u00a0Liquide are located in the United States (Walnut, Mississippi), in France (Cestas, near Bordeaux), and in the United Kingdom (Northwick, near Birmingham).<\/p>\n<p>The new biomethane production unit in the United States is located in the Northeast Mississippi Landfill (NEML) site. This is the first large-scale unit built by Air\u00a0Liquide in the United States. It purifies the biogas that results from household waste treatment sites and transforms it into biomethane.<\/p>\n<p>In Europe, the units purify the biogas from farm waste and transform it into biomethane. Part of this biomethane is used for trucks fueled by bio-NGV (Natural Gas for Vehicles), a clean non-fossil fuel with no fine particulates emissions.<\/p>\n<p>Air\u00a0Liquide has developed technologies and expertise that cover the entire biomethane value chain: the purification of biogas for its transformation into biomethane, injection into the natural gas networks in collaboration with local players, liquefaction, distribution for clean vehicle fleets fueled by bio-NGV.<\/p>\n<p>Fran\u00e7ois Darchis, Senior Vice President, member of the Air\u00a0Liquide Executive Committee supervising innovation, commented: \u201cThe commissioning of these new biomethane production units, whether in the United States or in Europe, illustrates the strong growth in new markets related to the energy transition. In transforming the biogas produced by waste into biomethane using its patented separation and purification technologies, Air\u00a0Liquide contributes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving air quality.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the beginning of 2018, Air\u00a0Liquide has commissioned three new biomethane production units, in the United States, in France, and in the United Kingdom.
