Description du projet
De nouvelles solutions rentables pour la production de biométhane
En mars 2022, la Commission européenne a annoncé un objectif de production de 35 milliards de mètres cubes de biométhane dans l’UE d’ici 2030. L’UE produit actuellement 3 milliards de mètres cubes de biométhane. Les projets d’augmentation de la production exigent donc la mobilisation de matières premières durables issues de la biomasse. Dans ce contexte, le projet SEMPRE-BIO, financé par l’UE, développera des solutions et des voies de production de biométhane innovantes et rentables. Plus précisément, il mettra en place trois écosystèmes européens d’innovation en matière de biométhane, basés à Adinkerke (Belgique), Baix Llobregat (Espagne) et Bourges (France), qui sont représentatifs des différentes situations de référence en matière de production de biométhane en Europe. Le projet concevra un processus qui permettra à un plus grand nombre d’innovateurs et d’entrepreneurs de lancer plus rapidement une production de biométhane à plus grande échelle et à moindre coût.
Objectif
SEMPRE-BIO aims to demonstrate novel and cost-effective biomethane production solutions and pathways, deemed essential to achieve the European Green Deal and climate and energy targets for 2030 and the net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and to increase the market up-take of biomethane related technologies.
To that extent, SEMPRE-BIO will set up three European Biomethane Innovation Ecosystems (EBIEs), based in Baix Llobregat (ES), Bourges (FR) and Adinkerke (BE), which are representative of the different baseline situations for biomethane production across Europe
Those initial EBIEs will facilitate long-term replication, by creating an active flow of information and resources for ideas to transform into reality. Through the EBIEs, SEMPRE-BIO will build a process by which more innovators and entrepreneurs will be able develop and launch solutions to solve problems related to the larger-scale and cheaper production of biomethane, faster. This process will create new technical expertise, helping to diversify the technology portfolio, and will allows businesses to better know their potential customers. Additionally, EBIEs will provide the means to create economic stability and resource sharing.
The value of EBIEs lies in the access to resources for the start-ups and the flow of information for the ecosystem’s stakeholders. This information flow will create more future investment opportunities for the right institutions to connect with the right ideas for their businesses and portfolios, at the right time, for the right reasons.
Overall, the challenge is to decrease investment and operational costs, to optimize feedstock supply, use, identify alternative feedstock as well as reduce their costs, to improve plant efficiency and operations, to factor in the carbon savings and to increase and monetize co-benefits, such as from the commercialization of the digestate or the valorization of residual gas streams.
