Biomethane is a renewable fuel,sometimes referred to as renewable natural gas (RNG). Its production is being championed across the EU as part of the energy transition away from fossil fuels.
Our client is the Biomethane Initiatives JV, formed in 2022 by Suma Capital and Sitra, a leader in water cycle treatment and waste management, and has begun construction of the Montes de Toledo Biomethane biogas plant. This project, located in the municipality of Noez (Toledo), will produce biomethane and compost, and is expected to commence operations in 2025. Through initiatives like this, our client aims to generate a positive economic impact while pioneering emission reducing renewable fuels.
As owner’s engineer, Arup’s team of project managers, engineers, procurement, cost management and health and safety advisors will oversee the development of the hydrogen electrolysis facility. Our goal is to ensure it is delivered safely on time, within budget, to industry best standards and in compliance with all statutory requirements.
Once operational, the plant will have the capacity to process a wide variety of organic waste, generating 40 GWh of biomethane and 30,000 tons of solid fertilizers annually (preventing the emission of 7,280 tons of CO2 per year).
