Biorig to invest $274M in 10 biomethane plants in Spain

In Spain, Biorig, the biomethane division of Solarig, has announced a 250 million euros investment for the development, construction, and operation of 10 biomethane production facilities in the Castilla y León region.

The collective plants will produce clean energy equivalent to 20% of the total annual gas consumption in the region. The new facilities will be located in rural areas of municipalities in the provinces of León, Zamora, Salamanca, Valladolid, Burgos, and Soria, creating a significant positive impact on the rural and sustainable development of the region. Furthermore, this project will create over 350 jobs and valorize more than 1.5 million tons of annual agro-livestock waste, preventing the emission of 300,000 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. The facilities, whose development has already begun, are expected to be operational by late 2025. The development project for the first of these facilities was presented last October in San Millán de los Caballeros (León).
