Anaerobic Digestie is a process that produces biogas through the Organic decomposition of organic material (waste) in the absence of oxygen. The biogas consists mainly of methane (CH₄) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), with small amounts of other components (nitrogen, hydrogen or hydrogen sulfide and water vapor).
The Organic material used to produce biogas can come from different sourcesSuch as agricultural waste, food waste, waste water or organic industrial waste. The Biogas production process is carried out in facilities called Anaerobobe Digesters, where micro -organisms fall apart for organic material to produce gas.
Re -econed residues in biogas
Spain stands for an unprecedented challenge and opportunity: Convert your waste in clean energy and take advantage of the rise of biogas as an engine of energy transition. With one of the largest productions of agricultural, cattle and industrial waste in Europe, the country has the potential to transform this environmental impact into a renewable energy source with high profitability. However, the key to promoting this emerging sector is not only in investments, but also in the ability to structure efficient projects and to attract specialized talent.
“The biogas chans in Spain is clear: We have the waste, a well -developed distribution network and a dynamic private sector that is willing to invest. However, the challenge is to find professionals who can manage this transformation ”, Carlota Pérez Marina, director of the Catenon Energy Division, explains.
The interest in biogas is growing at high speed, with the arrival of great funds such as Asterion Industrial Partners, Azora Capital, Verdalia, Macquarie with Vorn, JP Morgan and Redexis, who already They develop their own production platforms. In addition, structured financing has taken a step forward with the first biomethane project financing in Spain, promoted by ING, which confirms the maturity of the sector.
International regulations and demand they send on the market
He Biogás development in Spain is also determined by the regulatory context and the demand for CO₂ certificates In Europe. While in the north of the continent the strict regulations have increased the price of these certificates to € 120/m.
“He Biogás not only represents a sustainable alternative to reduce dependence on fossil fuelsBut it is also a clear market opportunity. The key is to structure solid projects that benefit from both incentives and export capacity for renewable energy ”, duck Pérez Marina.
Biogas in Spain
Despite the potential of biogas, the growth of the sector is a barrier, the lack of specialized talent. Currently the Ask for profiles with experience in gas, waste management and biomethane Exquence the range that is available on the market.
Some of the most requested profiles in the sector are: responsible for the business strategy for waste and biogas, Biomethane Engineer, director of waste management, environmental manager, director of business development, factory manager and R&D director. These professionals should not only have CTechnical knowledge about biogas productionBut also with strategic skills to structure viable and profitable projects.
Catenon and Biogas
Given this need, Catenon has developed a strategy that combines its experience in the field of engineering, construction and financial markets To connect companies with the most important professionals that the sector needs.
“Biogas is not a sector of large infrastructure with thousands of employees, but of well -defined projects that andSpecialists with the capacity to coordinate the primary sector and to optimize the use of waste. In Catenon we work to identify and attract that essential talent with which companies can lead this transformation ”Carlota Pérez Marina concludes.
With the insured investment and the evolving regulatory framework, the future of biogas in Spain will depend on his ability to attract and develop the necessary talent. Companies, investors and administrations have the option of Waste converting into an important source of renewable energy source for the country’s sustainability.
