About Valdemingómez:
In two groups, participants will visit, in turns, all 3 Biomethane plants of the industrial and technological park, which are real factories that turn waste into renewable fuel.
The Environment Area of Madrid City Council has set up Biomethane plants where the fermentation process is precipitated, thus obtaining biogas rich in methane – 54% of its composition.
The construction and start-up of the plants entailed a € 79 M investment and it was achieved by implementing mostly groundbreaking technology which adjusts the one used in other countries to Madrid circumstances and conditions, explains the Tech Park General Director, Miryam Sánchez.
Thus, among other benefits, up to 34 M m3 biogas may be produced per year and at the same time CO2 emissions are reduced by 30,000 tons.
Participants will go round the Biomethane plants “Las Dehesas” and “La Paloma”, and also the plant where biogas is purified to be injected into the natural gas supply network, to be employed as vehicle fuel or in internal combustion engines.
