Presentation by M. Freddy HERVOCHON, Vice-Pdt "Natural resources and environments, land action, sea and coast and inland waterways", and Sofia Tendron, Engineer in Climate Energy, Department of Loire-Atlantique.

Created in 2016, the CoOpMétha 44 partnership (Operational Coordination for Methanisation in Loire-Atlantique) brings together ten structures, with the common interest of developing methanisation projects. Without a priori on the type of projects, the partners mobilize collectively to support project leaders. Information meetings for farmers, raising awareness among communities and elected officials about the development potential of anaerobic digestion, support for land research via the CartoMétha tool, but also putting them in touch with other key partners: several tools and levers are mobilized to facilitate the emergence and development of projects.

« GRTgaz is committed, in accordance with the mandate given by the energy regulatory commission (CRE), to identify the economic conditions allowing the development of new renewable gas sectors (methanation, pyrogasification, Hydrothermal gasification and Power-to -gas). Concerning the valorization of liquid biomass by Hydrothermal Gasification, we seek to create links between the developers of the technology, the industrial equipment manufacturers being able to design parts of high technicality and sites having the biomass resource.

In this, GRTgaz initiates and supports numerous partnership approaches aimed at testing the technology with prospects who, by supplying sludge or digestate from STEP sludge, digestate from agricultural methanisation or agricultural effluents (slurry, leachate, hydrolysis ,…), Gain first experience with concrete results that are both technical and economic.

At the same time, we are a stakeholder in the creation and management of this new sector to define its future regulatory framework on the technological and financial level (support mechanism).

Finally, with the aim of achieving the first industrial projects in France by 2024/2025, GRTgaz wishes to initiate by 2022 the setting up of a first pre-industrial demonstration project on a site with around 10,000 tonnes per year of liquid biomass waste or residue. Sludges from treatment plants, methanation digestates that cannot be recovered locally by spreading, animal or industrial effluents whose dry matter is still fairly rich in organic matter are ideal candidates.

To find out more: our study on the potential of Hydrothermal Gasification in France (exec summary in English) and an educational video (in English) »
