This is a well-established process that involves breaking down animal or plant-based organic matter (from agriculture, industry, food waste, municipal waste, etc.) using bacteria in a warm, oxygen-free environment. This process generates a gas mixture containing 50-70% methane (CH<sub>4<\/sub>), water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO<sub>2<\/sub>), and other components (NH<sub>3<\/sub>, N<sub>2<\/sub>, H<sub>2<\/sub>S).<\/p>\n<p>Biogas production is governed by strict regulations: the decomposition of waste occurs without oxygen, preventing contact with air and therefore eliminating odors. The risk of ammonia emissions into the air or water pollution from digestate is closely monitored. The integration of facilities into the surrounding landscape is considered during site selection, noise emissions from biogas units are minimal, and traffic is kept to a minimum.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

22 of which are majority-owned and 14 minority-owned.<\/p>\n<p>While most of ENGIE\u2019s methanization units are focused on producing biomethane for injection into the natural gas grid, a few units use biogas directly, particularly for cogeneration. Of the 22 majority-owned plants, 20 inject biomethane into the natural gas grid, while 2 operate through cogeneration (Neubourg Biogas Plant and Montauban de Bretagne Biogas Plant).<\/p>\n<p>ENGIE produces over 700 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of biomethane annually in France.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_ca01c20090bd45f079bf3707d127ba65\"\n     class=\"cp-media-full-screen teq-container relative nj-aura nj-aura--white \">\n    <div class=\"teq-grid  \">\n        <div class=\"col-span-12  lg:px-0 relative\">\n                        <div class=\"teq-grid\">\n                <div class=\"col-span-12\">\n                    <div class=\"media-wrapper relative\">\n\n                                                                                                            <button type=\"button\"\n                                        aria-label=\"Zoom on picture\"\n                                        aria-controls=\"modal-zoom\"\n                                        aria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n                                        aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                                        class=\"absolute top-[4px] right-[4px] lg:right-[24px] lg:top-[24px]  nj-icon-btn nj-bg--white nj-color--primary nj-icon-btn--lg open-modal-zoom\">\n                                    <span aria-hidden=\"true\"\n                                          class=\"material-icons nj-icon-material nj-btn__icon nj-btn__icon--before\">fullscreen<\/span>\n                                <\/button>\n                                                    \n                                                    <picture class=\"flex\">\n                                <source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\"\n                                        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/carte_biomethane.jpg\"\/>\n                                <source media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\n                                        srcset=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/carte_biomethane.jpg\"\/>\n\n                                <!--TODO AMBRE if zoom ajotuer classe : open-modal-zoom cursor-pointer  -->\n                                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                                        class=\"w-full object-fit-cover\"\n                                        src=\"https:\/\/www.engie.com\/app\/uploads\/2026\/02\/carte_biomethane.jpg\"\n                                        alt=\"Map showing biomethane production sites across France, highlighting major and minor operational locations.\"\n                                \/>\n                            <\/picture>\n                                            <\/div>\n\n                                        <div class=\"transcription hidden\" data-video=\"\"\n                         data-video-webm=\"\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                    <p class=\"relative nj-text--xs italic mt-8 nj-color--tertiary text-end\"\n                       data-trad>\n                        Source: ENGIE, Renewable Gas Europe, 2024                    <\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_0b2afd2af02d3891d669a7320fe27151\" class=\"cp-wysiwyg teq-container nj-aura nj-aura--white\">\n    <div class=\"teq-grid \">\n        <div class=\"col-span-6 xl:col-start-2 xl:col-span-10 lg:col-start-1 lg:col-span-12 \">\n                        <div class=\"teq-wysiwyg\">\n                <div data-trad data-trad-html><h3>The Case of Montauban-de-Bretagne Biogas Combined Cycle Power Plant<\/h3>\n<p>Designed and operated by ENGIE BIOZ, the cogeneration plant was commissioned in 2017. It generates 9.4 GWh of green electricity, equivalent to the annual consumption of about 2,000 households, as well as thermal energy for heating nearby greenhouses (&gt; 6 GWh).<\/p>\n<p>The digester can process up to 98 tons of input per day, 60-65% of which comes from agricultural sources (effluents), 30-35% from agri-food industries, and 5% from municipalities.<\/p>\n<p>This project brings real value to the agricultural ecosystem, with 43 farms using digestate over a total spreading area of 2,752 hectares. This results in 190 tons of nitrogen being redistributed locally, partially replacing imported mineral fertilizers.<\/p>\n<p>Environmentally, the plant avoids 5,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year.<\/p>\n<p>The Montauban de Bretagne plant showcases how anaerobic digestion can integrate into local communities, bringing together economic actors, farmers, the agri-food industry, the municipality, the Saint-M\u00e9en-Montauban community, greenhouse operators, and electricity grid operator Enedis.<\/p>\n<h3>Expansion in Europe<\/h3>\n<p>ENGIE is strengthening its presence in Europe through acquisitions in the UK (4 production units) and the Netherlands (2 units).<\/p>\n<p>In total, our installed annual production capacity stands at 1.1 TWh of biomethane as of June 30, 2024.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"block_f73501144eb330aa59c663b2498125e1\" class=\"cp-rebond-2x2 relative teq-container
