Foz promotes a strategic modernization of its urban water cycle with a new management contract
Biovic, the leading Spanish company in engineering and execution of sustainable energy projects behind the major initiatives in the biomethane and biogas sector in Spain, has been one of the leading companies in the V International Congress on Energy Engineering (iENER) held in Valencia, where he participated with the help of his Agro and R&D business manager, Carlos Parrado Abad. The company has focused its presence at this event on its objective of transferring the capacity of biomethane to become the center of circular economy models in agricultural environments.
As this engineering firm has explained to experts and companies in the energy sector, its projects utilize raw materials from agricultural activity to generate biomethane. Simultaneously, the production of this gas generates a byproduct, digestate, which is an excellent organic fertilizer for agricultural land, both for its ability to nourish the soil and retain moisture. In this way, the biogas industry can contribute not only to the generation of clean energy but also to improving agricultural practices.
In the words of Carlos Parrado: “At Biovic we use more advanced technologies to transform waste into energy, but also to close the cycle of resource utilization through the creation of a high-quality organic fertilizer that returns essential nutrients to the soil, and from there this virtuous circle begins again.”
Biomethane projects with an execution value of about €30 M
In this regard, the company has just completed a significant year in which it facilitated the execution and development of approximately €30 million worth of major biomethane plants in various parts of Spain, including Catalonia, Castilla-La Mancha, Murcia, and the Valencian Community. Furthermore, the Spanish company plans to design large-scale projects with a combined value of around €400 million by 2027.
In this way, the engineering firm behind the design of the country's main biomethane plants reinforces its position as a leader in Spain and continues its international expansion. At the same time, the company has strengthened all its activities related to agriculture and the production of organic fertilizers, giving its projects a distinct added value.
As Luis Puchades, director of Biovic, states: “We are pioneers in the development of this type of engineering project. We have paved the way and continue to innovate in a field that Spain must invest in. At Biovic, we are aware not only of the potential of the projects we undertake with our clients, but we are also fully convinced of the strategic importance that clean energies, such as biomethane and biogas, bring to society and industry, in order to achieve the sustainable and self-sufficient energy model that the EU demands of us. All of this must be done in perfect harmony with our primary sector.”
Biovic, a breeding ground for new talent
To meet this ambitious strategic growth plan focused on large-scale projects, Biovic has had to significantly expand its workforce. The engineering firm, specializing in sustainable energy initiatives, has nearly quadrupled its team, which now numbers over 25 employees, mostly engineers.
Moreover, the company has become a true talent incubator and plans to continue adding new profiles to its ranks. “We estimate that the significant growth in projects we anticipate, some already in the pipeline, will require us to increase the number of employees, and we must find a balance between young talent and the experience of our more senior staff,” explains Luis Puchades, who highlights the company's ability to “retain talent,” because, as he points out, “both the challenges we tackle and the work environment have become a major draw.”
Big projects in 2023
Among the large biomethane plant projects in which Biovic engineering has participated, the Galivi project, in Lorca (Murcia), stands out, which will inject up to 30 GWh of biomethane per year into the gas network; the Granollers plant, promoted by the Bioenergía Vallés Oriental (BioVO) project, which will produce 22 GWh of biomethane annually; and the Biomethane Montes de Toledo plant, located in the municipality of Noez (Toledo), which will produce 40 GWh of biomethane annually, in addition to compost, or the Utiel projects of AEMA Servicios Energéticas. This last project will use agro-industrial waste to produce about 15 MWh of biomethane, and is aligned with the Valencian Biogas Route, which promotes the construction of a hundred renewable gas plants in the region to produce 65% of the gas consumed by Valencian homes.
Regarding biogas projects, Biovic has developed the Llutxent (València) plant, belonging to the Montagut group, which will treat up to 129.000 tons of waste, and which has an interesting production plant for raw materials for the production of organic fertilizers. in a facility that is almost built.
