The project focus on using the biogas, produced in the Can Mata landfill, as an
alternative fuel source in a ceramic factory. This is the first application of this technology in
Spain, and one of the first experiments of its kind in Europe. The new process design means that
83% of the energy consumed in the ceramic factory comes from a renewable energy source,
thereby avoiding 18,005,040 Kg of CO2 emissions/year. Moreover, in the landfill, 80% of the
energy available from the collected biogas is been recovered.
