The Spanish Biogas Association ( AEBIG ) and the AINIA technology centre have signed a collaboration agreement to strengthen the development of biogas and biomethane in Spain. With this alliance, both entities seek to promote research and application of technologies for the production of these sustainable fuels.
Biogas and biomethane production
The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation to improve the efficiency of biogas production through anaerobic digestion and the valorisation of organic waste. It also aims to optimise the processes for converting agro-food waste into renewable gas, as well as exploring new applications in the chemical and environmental industries.
In addition, AEBIG and AINIA will work on the development of advanced technologies for the purification of biogas and its conversion into high-quality biomethane . New methods for the use of digestate for agricultural purposes and the implementation of solutions for the bioconversion of CO₂ into additional methane through innovative processes will also be studied.
Since its foundation in 2009, AEBIG has promoted biogas as a renewable energy source in Spain. It also represents many stakeholders in the sector, from plant developers and promoters to technology companies and research centres. Its work focuses on promoting favourable regulations, participating in international forums and encouraging investment in biogas infrastructure .
AINIA is also a leader in biogas research and development with more than 20 years of experience. It has led innovative projects such as UPBIOMET+ , focused on improving the efficiency of anaerobic digestion to increase biomethane production. It has also worked on initiatives such as COMBOI, which seeks to transform CO₂ and methane into high-value biobased products through biotechnology and catalysis.
