An AI-controlled biomethane plant will supply renewable energy to support medical R&D and manufacturing in Dublin and Athlone, the Republic of Ireland.
The 40GWh per year facility in Duleek will produce and sell renewable energy to Alexion, part of pharmaceutical group AstraZeneca, under a 15-year gas supply deal signed with project developer Carbon AMS earlier this week.

According to the partners, the biomethane facility is expected to be the “most advanced” AI-controlled industrial plant in the world. The technology stems from Carbon AMS’s work with the founders of rhobot.ai and their collaboration with Siemens to deploy edge-native AI, virtual sensors, and intelligent agents purpose-built to optimise biomethane output.
