- BioNorrois will produce 153 GWh of biomethane, enough to
supply 30,000 inhabitants.
- The sugar producer Cristal Union will provide up to 80% of
the agricultural materials.
- BioNorrois will also produce 150,000 tons of natural
fertilizer per year.
- BioNorrois will help avoid the emission of 30,000 tons of
CO2 per year.
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) announces the
commissioning of BioNorrois, its 8th biomethane production unit1 in
France, located in Fontaine-le-Dun (Normandy). It will inject 153
GWh of biomethane per year into the natural gas transport network
operated by GRTgaz, equivalent to the average annual gas
consumption of more than 30,000 inhabitants.
The French sugar group Cristal Union, partner in the project and
10% shareholder, will provide beet pulp, residues from its adjacent
production site, to the biomethane plant, which will represent up
to 80% of the 185,000 tons of organic materials used.
The 150,000 tons of digestate2 produced annually by the unit
will be fully utilized by Cristal Union and the Norman cooperative
NatUp with partner farms, to support them in their transition to
the use of sustainable and locally produced fertilizers. This new
territorial installation will save more than 5,500 tons of chemical
fertilizers each year and avoid emitting 30,000 tons of CO2.
The development of BioNorrois is the result of consultation with
all local stakeholders, including more than 130 farmers and
agri-food industries as well as local administrations and
officials, allowing the project to adapt to the needs of the
territory.
“We are delighted with the commissioning of this new anaerobic
digestion unit in Normandy, comparable in size to BioBéarn, our
largest production site in France. With this new plant, which
brings our biogas production capacity in the country to more than
800 GWh, TotalEnergies confirms its position as a major player in
the market. With Cristal Union, we are partnering long-term with a
robust, internationally recognized partner committed to sustainable
growth of its activities. With this new biogas project,
TotalEnergies continues to contribute to the promotion of a
circular economy with multiple local benefits, the production of
renewable energies, and the decarbonization of the French energy
mix,” said Karine Boissy-Rousseau, VP Green Gases at
TotalEnergies.
“We are pleased with the commissioning of this biomethane
production unit located close to our sugar factory in
Fontaine-le-Dun. Cristal Union has been committed to decarbonizing
its activities for over 20 years. Unlike many industries, we have
an asset: the ability to valorize the residues of our production,
beet pulp, and industrial effluents, and reuse them to produce
energy through anaerobic digestion or combustion. This partnership
with TotalEnergies is a full-scale project for the treatment of
pulp. Beyond the production of biogas from our production residues,
it will allow us to provide our partner farmers with digestate to
spread on their fields. A true circular economy project!” said
Xavier Astolfi, General Manager of Cristal Union.
