First stone of the biogas scrubber of the Pays de Château-Gontier anaerobic digestion unit
On Wednesday 17 February, Evergaz, one of France’s leading biogas players, welcomed the President of the Regional Council, Mrs Christelle Morançais, Mrs Céline Broquin-Lacombe, Sub-Prefect in charge of economic recovery for the Prefect of the Mayenne department, and Mr Philippe Henry, President of the Pays de Château-Gontier Community of municipalities, to the Biogaz anaerobic digestion unit du Pays de Château-Gontier (Mayenne), to lay the first stone of its biogas scrubber. With this scrubber, the site will become the first of the Pays de la Loire Region to provide a comprehensive range of green energy sources: green electricity, green heat, bioNGV, and now biomethane. The Biogaz du Pays de Château-Gontier facility will therefore become one of the pioneering sites in France to offer four energy recovery methods.
