TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) has acquired a
20% stake in Ductor, a Finland-based start-up that has developed an
innovative technology to process high-nitrogen organic waste, such
as poultry manure, which is usually difficult to use for biomethane
production. By allowing the treatment of new types of input, this
technology is helping to accelerate the development of the biogas
value chain, thus contributing to the energy transition. It will
also enable TotalEnergies to seize new market opportunities.
TotalEnergies has also formed a partnership with Ductor to
develop and invest in several biomethane production projects,
primarily in the United States and Europe. Ductor already has a
pipeline of fifteen to twenty projects, some of which are at an
advanced stage. The partners are planning to develop an initial
facility in Ohio, United States. Under the terms of this joint
venture, TotalEnergies will market the production of the
biomethane, and Ductor the production of the sustainable
biofertilizers.
"We are pleased to partner with Ductor, a start-up with an
innovative pre-treatment technology that will enable us to develop
new biomethane production projects, using organic waste that is
currently not, or only slightly, reused. By accelerating the biogas
chain, this technology contributes directly to the energy
transition and to TotalEnergies' ambition of producing 20 TWh of
biogas worldwide by 2030," said Olivier Guerrini, Vice President,
Biogas at TotalEnergies.
"The partnership with TotalEnergies will allow us to move
forward faster and rapidly develop our project portfolio. In
today's world, local energy production, food security and global
warming are essential concerns for everyone. Ductor's solution for
repurposing high-grade organic residues into renewable energy and
sustainable fertilizer is part of the answer. The markets for
organic fertilizer and biogas are expected to grow strongly in the
years to come," said Ductor's Chief Executive Officer Bernard
Fenner.
