Our Mission
Dalkia has partly based its growth on its capacity to manage an appropriate fuel mix(switch from fuel oil to gas, gas cogeneration, biomass) and its technical innovation. The current context is one of rapid changes in which contrasts can be observed between the return of coal and the desire to make the economy carbon-free the capacity to finance green projects requiring high levels of investment in a time of crisis, the re-launch of and freeze on nuclear power.

What should Dalkia policy be in relation to the recovery of green gas produced by the companys landfill facilities (REP) and anaerobic digestion units? Limits and opportunities?

It is a question of making an estimate, in liaison with the EMD(Energy Markets Department), Veolia Water, Veolia Environmental Services and other company subsidiaries of the market potential and the supply in France and Europe of P1 biogas - biomethane -

biomethane fuel and the possibilities for green certificates and renewable energy at our industrial heating plants, cogenerations, networks, ets. As well as opportunities for injecting biomethane into gas networks.

Renewable energy
Demand for energy growing with civilization development, with simultaneous exhaustion of its traditional resources mainly fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and an increase in natural environment pollution accompanying their use, bring an increased interest in the use of renewable energy. The energy from renewable sources is energy derived from repeated natural processes and obtained from renewable non-fossil energy sources (energy of water, wind, solar radiation, geothermal energy, energy of waves, ocean currents and flows as well as energy from solid biomass, biogas and liquid biofuels).

In domestic conditions, the energy from renewable sources includes energy from direct usage of solar radiation, wind, geothermal resources (from the inside of the Earth), water and energy generated from solid biomass, biogas and liquid biofuels. Renewable energy sources (RES) are an alternative to conventional primary non-renewable energy carriers (fossil fuels). Their resources replenish themselves in natural processes, which practically allows to treat them as inexhaustible. Moreover, generating energy from these sources is more environmentally friendly in comparison to traditional (fossil) sources.

About biogas
Functional scope
The project focuses on the usage of Green gas coming from landfill sites and sewage treatment plants.

The green gas called biogas is gas consisting mainly of methane and carbon dioxide. The gas is obtained from the process of anaerobic fermentation of biomass.

During the process of anaerobic digestion up to 60% of organic substance turns into biomass. Biogas is generated in the process of anaerobic digestion in containers called fermenters. landfill gas, obtained as a result of fermentation of waste on landfill sites, sewage sludge gas, obtained as a result of anaerobic fermentation of sludge remaining biogases: - agricultural biogas, obtained in the process of anaerobic fermentation of biomass from energy crops, crop production and livestock waste - biogas obtained in the process of anaerobic fermentation of biomass coming from waste in slaughterhouses, breweries and other food industries.

Incentive & Regulations Synthesis

What we did, we created a file in which we have gathered all the necessary data from all our resources for ex: DTGP, interviews we have carried out, reference files of VWS, VES and Cogenco. From this file we have excluded such information as: explanations on contract, description of the biogas production plant, description of the valorization plant, financial data and contacts. The results of our work you can see on the website map.

Biogas in landfill site and industrial sewage treatment plant
organic mass and for this reason, the sludge can undergo anaerobic fermentation. Meanwhile, the sludge is most often deposited on landfill sites, which is becoming a bigger and bigger problem, particularly in the light of the In many landfill site and industrial provisions of the EU law. Legal sewage treatment plants, considerable regulations limit storing the sludge amounts are generated. The sludge can deposits and therefore it is essential to constitute a perfect raw material for biogas production, it doesnt contain toxic popularize appropriate methods of substances and the dry matter it contains sewage sludge optimum utilization and management. equals 4-5 %, including over 90% of
