Genia Bioenergy to Grow in Biogas with an 8 Million Euro Plant in Llíria

Genia Bioenergy, the division specialized in the development of biogas plants of the Genia group, wants to start up a new biomethane facility located in the Valencian municipality of Llíria in which an investment of just over $8.9 million (€8 million) is foreseen. The project aims to convert 192,700 tons per year of organic waste, mainly from the agri-food sector, into biogas.

According to the company’s own sources, the Valencian group already has an agreement with Enagás to distribute this biomethane, which will allow the production of the future plant to be dumped in its transport network. In fact, the gas company has already collaborated with Genia Bionergy in other biogas plants it has recently started up.

Genia Bioenergy has also participated in the start-up of a biogas plant in Valderrobres (Teruel)

The engineering and development firm is currently processing the Community Impact Statement for this facility, which also has the support of the Llíria City Council. The facility, whose production process will also make it possible to generate fertilizers, is expected to be supplied with urban waste as well as waste from the food industry, livestock, and sewage sludge from sewage treatment plants.

The project is to be installed on a surface area of 16,857 square meters and its installation would allow “the correct management and valorization of non-hazardous waste to obtain renewable energy with an approximate reduction of 37,784 tons of CO2 equivalent per year”.

Genia Bioenergy has participated together with Grupo Arcoiris, dedicated to the agro-livestock sector, and the Valencian Selev Biogroup, specialized in the integral management of bio-waste, in the start-up of a biogas plant in Valderrobres (Teruel) and plans another with Selev in Picassent (Valencia) which already has its Environmental Impact Statement and which will process 141,000 tons of organic waste every year to convert them into biomethane and biodiesel.

Solar Macropark in Zarra and Jarafuel

The Valencian engineering and development company has also recently obtained the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) from the Ministry for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge for the Valle Solar photovoltaic solar plant project, planned on land in the municipalities of Zarra and Jarafuel (Valencia). This plant is promoted and designed by Genia Solar Energy and has the backing of the Italian fund Solar Ventures.

According to the developer, this would mean being able to proceed with the administrative authorizations for construction and building permits for the installation of the project, if it were not for the fact that the Special Plan for the Management of Renewable Energy Generation Infrastructures promoted by the towns of Ayora, Jarafuel and Zarra is still pending approval by the Consell.

Valle Solar will involve an investment of $200 million (€180 million) and will generate up to 450 direct jobs during its construction and 6 permanent jobs for its operation, according to the developer.
