Breda, the Netherlands, December 9 – VIDA bioenergy has commissioned its first biogenic CO₂ recovery and liquefaction facility at its Glentham site in the United Kingdom. This achievement marks an important step in the sustainable production of biogenic CO₂ and supports future opportunities for its long-term sequestration.
The Glentham plant is a 60 GWh-per-year biomethane production facility that processes agricultural crops and residues to produce biomethane, which is injected directly into the UK’s high-pressure National Transmission System. With the addition of the new CO₂ liquefaction unit, VIDA bioenergy now recovers the other major component of biogas, high-purity biogenic carbon dioxide, for use in industrial, food, and beverage applications.
Robert Richards, VIDA bioenergy UK General Manager, said, “We are pleased to have safely and smoothly commissioned the company’s first liquid CO₂ plant. Our biogenic CO₂ is already going to customers, including well-known beverage and brewing names.”
Lars Boetje, VIDA bioenergy CEO, said: “Biogas CO₂ capture delivers exceptional value – and Glentham proves it. It’s the model for tomorrow’s VIDA bioenergy plants.”
