Renewable energy: France's biogas sector is booming • FRANCE 24 English

A decade after its creation, anaerobic digestion is flourishing in France. This method consists in breaking down organic matter to produce biogas, a renewable energy source. The sector already produces the equivalent of the energy capacity of a nuclear reactor, and this will likely be doubled by 2025. A key part of France's strategy for energy sovereignty and its ecological transition, biogas is showing considerable promise. FRANCE 24's Rebecca Martin, Jonathan Walsh, Armelle Caux and James Vasina report.

I think most don't know about this form of biogas development, but I could be the future. Sure, there is not the infrastructure yet and maybe it won't be the complete solution to all the energy needs, but it certainly is another viable option.

How commendable! Bravo à France! 👍

[@Metonymy1979]

Sales booming or government money booming? Once the government money stops these just collapse

Please provide evidence for your claim.

Still too expensive to compete with Russian gas.

[@50jakecs]

That's for now, they spoke about getting cheaper and more available to compete with Russian gas. What is wrong with you? It's people like you who assume the world will stay exactly the same all the time is why positive change takes so long. With your kind of thinking, we would still be driving horse drawn carriages.

It doesnt has to, Europe is done with Russian gas, it will however compete with LNG prices.

[@tomhenry897]

Their not done

[@DSAK55]

Da!

[@ericliu5491]

Do you have any evidence to support this claim?

You're late to the Game. Anaerobic digestors has exit decades
