Today, the plant brings together in its capital local breeders (of
dairy cattle, beef cattle, and goats) and large regional players in
the agricultural and renewable energy sector (cooperatives and
energy union). In addition to a desire to contribute to the territory’s
energy transition, this initiative was created to address the
new French agricultural landscape, which requires that farmers
reconsider their production methods and, above all, diversify
them to keep the industry alive. Specifically, this plant enables the
effluents of 12 farms in the surrounding area (less than 8 km from
the methanation unit) to be treated and converted into electricity,
heat, and natural fertilizer.
