Global water and waste management company Suez has formally rolled out a new recovery unit which will capture carbon dioxide from the anaerobic digestion of biowaste at its Terres d’Aquitaine site in the French department of Gironde.
The site produces over 45 GWh of biomethane each year, and the new unit will enable the recovery of 3,500 tonnes of biogenic CO2 from organic waste sourced from supermarkets, local authorities, the agri-food industry, and agricultural residues, according to Suez.
The new recovery unit cost around €1.4m and was co-funded by the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. Although the unit has been operational since May, the official inauguration took place this month.
