Anaergia to supply European Energy with liquefied biogenic Carbon Dioxide for 10 years

August 22, 2022 |

In Canada, Anaergia Inc. has signed an agreement with European Energy A/S. Under the terms of this agreement Anaergia is to supply European Energy with up to 60,000 metric tons per year of liquefied biogenic Carbon Dioxide for a period of 10 years. 

Biogenic carbon dioxide is carbon dioxide that is released during the decomposition of organic matter such as food waste. All Anaergia plants use organic waste material to produce biogas, which is composed of methane and carbon dioxide. Once this gas is processed, Anaergia produces pipeline quality Renewable Natural Gas and a clean stream of carbon dioxide that normally gets released to the atmosphere where it originally came from. Biogenic carbon dioxide that comes from organic material is considered a desirable raw material for low-carbon fuels as its use does not add new carbon to our atmosphere. 

European Energy, a major multinational renewable wind and solar energy producer, will produce green e-methanol from this biogenic CO2. Under the terms of an agreement European Energy had previously entered into with A.P. Moller – Maersk, a global leader in integrated container logistics services, with operations in 130 countries, the green e-methanol will be used to power the first container vessel that A.P. Moller – Maersk is having built to operate on this carbon neutral fuel.
