Biogas - And energy gushes forth from wastes. In Montpellier, everything is good to produce biogas

As Germany is a European leader in the production of biogas (two thirds of the European production), France is third with 10 per cent of the European total. This production represents 190 MW of electric power produced in 200 installations. In 2020 this production should reach 625 MW with 1500 production units.
