Press Release: A WORLD FIRST IN THE BIOGAS SECTOR!
Press release 20 Mar 2024IN 2024, PRODEVAL, IN COLLABORATION WITH AVENTECH AND INSA LYON, WILL LAUNCH THE FIRST EUROPEAN INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION LINE FOR BIOGAS UPGRADING SYSTEMS AND CO2 LIQUEFIERS.
PRODEVAL, AVENTECH, and INSA Lyon join forces to offer decarbonized and sustainable industrial solutions in the energy sector. The ALLIANCE project aims to equip the Biogas industry with an innovative and unprecedented solution for globally standardized production of Biogas upgrading systems and CO2 liquefiers. This initiative aims to significantly contribute to addressing the major challenges of energy independence and decarbonization.
A WORLD FIRST IN THE BIOGAS SECTOR!
By combining the expertise of AVENTECH, a European leader in the design, industrialization, and manufacturing of critical electrical/industrial equipment, with the proficiency of PRODEVAL, a leader in Biogas treatment and upgrading, ALLIANCE aims to develop an industrial and innovative production tool in Europe.
A 20,000 m2 factory will come to life by the end of 2024 to support this multi-million euro project. Fully financed by AVENTECH, this facility will house certain AVENTECH activities, particularly the manufacturing of electrical equipment, electrical and process shelters/
containers (piping, etc.) all in one location, a strategic and economic area in the South of France.
5,000 m2 will be exclusively dedicated to the new production line for Biogas upgrading units and CO2 liquefaction developed by PRODEVAL. Currently, no production line of this scale exists in the global Biogas market. Beyond the technical expertise controlled by
PRODEVAL, the contributions of AVENTECH and DISP (INSA Lyon) will be crucial to ensuring a high level of product industrialization from conception, delayed differentiation, and online reconfiguration.
AN INDUSTRIAL AMBITION THAT ADDRESSES ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES AND SIGNIFICANT REINDUSTRIALIZATION ISSUES
ALLIANCE represents a new and unique dynamic for the entire Biogas sector in Europe. To address the major challenges related to
greenhouse gas emissions reduction and contribute to the energy sovereignty of territories, the new production line aims to manufacture nearly 450 units per year, compared to the current 150. This unprecedented production capacity will enable the structuring and standardization of the sector to deploy solutions across various territories such as in Europe. The challenge for ALLIANCE lies in the replicability of its international production line. This will enable the efficient and consistent reproduction of complex environmental technologies in various contexts, while overcoming logistical, regulatory, and cultural challenges specific to each location.
THE STANDARDIZATION - «DESIGN FOR MANUFACTURING AND MAINTENANCE»
It is a true revolution for the Biogas sector given the market’s growth potential, estimated to reach several billion euros by 2030. The innovation of the ALLIANCE project lies in combining Biogas upgrading and CO2 liquefaction solutions while developing the exportable nature, at the local level, of the deployed industrial solutions.
As a result of this project, the VALOPUR® DFM (Design For Manufacturing & Maintenance) skids will complement the existing VALOPUR® containerized membrane upgrading ranges, tailored to the needs of sites and clients.
The factory is expected to be operational by the end of 2024.
