The company has constructed two new production units — one in Center Township, Pennsylvania, and the other in Holland Township, Michigan.
These units will treat waste sourced from dairy farms. Following a circular economy approach, these units will contribute to the emergence of a low-carbon society, the company said in a press release.
“With these two new biomethane production units, Air Liquide is reinforcing its presence in the U.S. RNG production market,” said Armelle Levieux, member of Air Liquide’s executive committee and vice-president of innovation. “These investments in the U.S. are in line with the priorities of our strategic plan ADVANCE for 2025, which inseparably links growth and a sustainable future. Biomethane is part of the portfolio of solutions developed by Air Liquide to support the decarbonization of its customers in the industry and transport sectors.”
Air Liquide has developed competencies throughout the whole biomethane value chain, starting with biogas production from waste, to its purification into biomethane to be injected into gas grids or compression/liquefaction with storage and transportation to customers.
Air Liquide currently has 26 biomethane operational production units in the world for a yearly production capacity of about 1.8 TWh.
