July 12 (LNGJ) - French industrial gases company Air Liquide plans to start its first biomethane production unit in China by the end of 2022. The plant is in Huai’an City in Jiangsu Province with a production capacity of 75 gigawatt hours per annum. “This new unit will produce biogas from agricultural and livestock waste coming from local farms and purify it into biomethane. It will then be injected into the city-gas grid to be used for household consumption,” the company explained.
Air Liquide has developed expertise throughout the whole biomethane value chain from production, purification, liquefaction, storage and transportation. “Biomethane has a high potential in China in particular as the Chinese government supports projects promoting the valorization of waste as part of its financial plans for the development of rural regions,” stated Air Liquide.
