據鉆機地帶5月24日消息稱，通過成功收購芬蘭一家生產生物甲烷公司20%的股份，道達爾能源正在擴大其沼氣業務，并計劃在美國建立第一家工廠。

在周三的聯合新聞發布會上，道達爾能源的合作伙伴Ductor表示，“開發了一種創新技術來處理高氮有機廢物，如家禽糞便，這些廢物通常很難用于生產生物甲烷”。“通過處理新型投入，這項技術有助于加速沼氣價值鏈的發展，從而實現能源轉型”。這也將使道達爾能源能夠抓住新的市場機會。

道達爾能源和Ductor還將成立一家合資企業，后者將生產可持續生物肥料，而道達爾能源將負責銷售生物甲烷(一種由有機物產生的氣體)。

他們計劃在俄亥俄州建立第一家工廠，并將美國和歐洲作為主要市場。

道達爾能源負責沼氣業務的副總裁Olivier Guerrini在公告中指出，道達爾能源的新股份有助于實現其“到2030年在全球生產20太瓦時沼氣的雄心”。

新聞稿稱，這一目標“相當于400萬法國消費者的年平均天然氣需求，并減少約400萬噸的二氧化碳排放”。

道達爾能源目前的沼氣生產能力為1.1太瓦時。

該公司在新聞聲明中表示：“公司的目標是通過與清潔能源、威立雅和Ductor等主要合作伙伴合作，成為國際市場上的主要參與者。它活躍于整個價值鏈，從項目開發到可再生氣體及其副產品的營銷，包括生物肥料和生物二氧化碳。”

TotalEnergies Acquires Biogas Stake

TotalEnergies SE is expanding its biogas segment with the successful acquisition of a 20 percent interest in a Finnish company to produce biomethane, and they plan to build their first facility in the USA.

The partner, Ductor, “has developed an innovative technology to process high-nitrogen organic waste, such as poultry manure, which is usually difficult to use for biomethane production”, said a joint press release Wednesday.

“By allowing the treatment of new types of input, this technology is helping to accelerate the development of the biogas value chain, thus contributing to the energy transition.

“It will also enable TotalEnergies to seize new market opportunities”.

The global energy giant and Ductor will also form a joint venture through which the latter will produce sustainable biofertilizers and the French partner will market biomethane, a gas generated from organic matter.

They plan to build their initial facility in Ohio state eyeing the USA and Europe as primary markets.

TotalEnergies’ new stake contributes to its “ambition of producing 20 TWh [terawatt hours] of biogas worldwide by 2030", Olivier Guerrini, TotalEnergies vice-president for biogas, noted in the announcement.

The target is “equivalent to the average annual gas demand of four million French consumers and a reduction in CO2 [carbon dioxide] emissions of around four million tons”, the release stated.

TotalEnergies currently has a biogas production capacity of 1.1 Twh.

“The Company aims to become a major player in the international market by joining forces with leading partners such as Clean Energy, Veolia, and Ductor”, it said in the press statement. “It is active across the entire value chain, from project development to marketing of this renewable gas and its byproducts, including biofertilizers and bioCO2”.
