The\nBiogas is increasingly becoming a versatile renewable energy source and\nessential for its contribution to energy security and the reduction of\nEmissions of greenhouse gases.\nIn the Biob\u00edo Region, Hidronor is operating with a modern\nBiogas plant since 2018, extracting to date a volume of 5,134,905 Nm3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The biogas from the landfill is\nproduced by decomposing the organic fraction of waste\ndeposited in landfills and is typically 35-65% methane\n(CH4), 15-50% carbon dioxide (CO2) and a mixture of other gases, such\nsuch as: nitrogen, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide gas, carbon monoxide, ammonia and\noxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plant allows the recovery\nenergy of the biogas produced by decomposition of the organic fraction of\nSolid Urban Waste, MSW, deposited in the landfill. Understand the\nextraction of biogas from the landfill and its use as fuel in motor generators\nup to a power close to 3 MW. The electrical energy produced is raised to\n12.5 kV and injected into the distribution network.<\/p>\n
