France – Veolia and TotalEnergies have agreed to produce biomethane from Veolia waste and water treatment facilities in more than 15 countries.
The partners will work together to develop and invest in a portfolio of international projects with the goal of producing 1.5 terawatt-hours (TWh) of biomethane per year by 2025. This renewable gas production from organic waste will be equivalent to the average annual natural gas consumption of 500,000 residents, saving approximately 200,000 tons of CO2. TotalEnergies plans to sell the resulting biomethane as a renewable transportation fuel or as a natural gas substitute in other applications.
Equal contribution
The partners will pool their industrial know-how in biomethane production as part of this agreement. TotalEnergies will contribute its in-depth knowledge of the entire biomethane value chain, while Veolia will contribute its expertise in the production and processing of biogas from its facilities.
