Working with farmers and small and mid-size agricultural businesses, Méthanor finances the construction and operation of farm methanation units, drawing on the expertise of an in-house team of specialists and experienced partners, primarily in Germany, where over 7,000 production units are now in operation.

About Méthanor
Méthanor’s mission is to finance farm biogas production units in partnership with agricultural SMEs, and sell the resulting biogas.
The methanation process offers a large-scale solution to environmental challenges, using fermentation to convert organic waste into biogas which is then used to generate combustion-based electricity and produce heat.
In keeping with France’s Grenelle environmental initiative, the electricity produced is sold to French power utility EDF at prices guaranteed for 15 years, giving Méthanor a safe return over the same period. Méthanor plans to become a key player in farm biogas production in the near future.
