Case History
REVERE ENERGIA
In Revere, Borgo Mantovano, we realised a biomethane plant from OFMSW. The innovative Revere Energy plant will treat 22,000 t per year of organic waste (wet and green) and will produce 240 Sm³/h of biomethane for transport, to be fed into the national natural gas network: a total of 2 mln Sm³/a of advanced biomethane.

The future is biomethane
Biomethane is a biogas derived gas, which has undergone a refining and purification process, called upgrading, whose concentration of CH4 exceeds 98%. It has characteristics and conditions of use corresponding to those of methane gas and is suitable for feeding the natural gas network.
The biogas, desulphurised and dehumidified, undergoes a purification process, in order to separate the methane from the other gases that make up the biogas mixture. The biomethane obtained can be used, marketed and transported, in gaseous or liquefied form, in the same way as natural gas.The advantadges of biomethane
- Programmable renewable source
- Reduction of import dependency
- Development of the local economy
- Environmental sustainability
- Perfect example of circular economy
- Reduction of the emissions and greenhouse effect
- Maximum flexibility
