Biogas Producer PGB Cuts Ribbon on New Plant in Poland
Polish biogas producer Polska Grupa Biogazowa (PGB), part of TotalEnergies, has launched its 22nd biogas plant in the country. The new installation in Dlugoszyn, in the western Lubusz province, will process about 46,000 tonnes of substrates per year, producing 8.4 GWh of electricity and 8 GWh of heat. The company said the generated electricity will meet the demand of roughly 3,000 households.
The 1 MWe plant is expected to deliver an estimated PLN 4 million (around USD 1 million) in annual benefits to the local community within a 50 km radius, flowing to agri-food and digestate processors as well as transport and service companies. PGB is the largest producer of electricity and heat from biogas in Poland, with a roughly 15% market share, and is developing a network of biogas and biomethane plants that support the circular economy and help stabilize the national power system.
