Le Mans, PDL converts waste into a renewable resource with the completion of its biogas plant

Le Mans, PDL Waste Renewable Resource Biogas Plant

A two-year construction project resulted in the first biogas facility in the Sarthe department. Sludge from the Veolia-run wastewater facility is converted into biomethane at the new plant. This natural gas is fed into the GrDF gas pipeline that serves local buildings. The biogas plant produces enough natural gas for 1,500 homes. Le Mans anticipates an annual emissions reduction of 3,500 tons and a 30% cut in sludge discharge into waterways.
