Innovations by GDF SUEZ: 2nd generation biomethane : a business of the future?

Also called "green gas", biomethane is produced from animal or vegetable organic matter gas. In 2020, GDF SUEZ wishes to establish a new industry for the production of 2nd generation biomethane or "2G". This synthesis gas is obtained after transformation of woody biomass (wood or straw). Thus, the platform for research and development "GAYA" is under construction. Scheduled for commissioning in 2015, this platform will demonstrate the validity of the project and achieve the emergence of a production chain of biomethane.
