The environmental benefits of biomethane

The numbers in the video describe the virtuous cycle that Hera will carry out with the production of biomethane, a 100% sustainable and renewable fuel, through the new plant under construction in S. Agata Bolognese (BO). A project which, through an investment of around 30 million euros by Hera, will make it possible to avoid the use of over 6,000 tons of oil per year and to produce 20,000 tons of high-quality natural fertilizer annually and 7.5 million of cubic meters of biomethane. As regards the production of electricity through biomethane, projections for 2020 indicate an increase in Italy to 93 Megawatts, capable of powering 31,000 apartments for one year.
