What is biogenic CO2?
Biogenic CO2 is carbon dioxide from sustainable biomass, i.e. from sources that meet the strict criteria set out in the European REDII and REDIII directives. These criteria include a ban on the use of raw materials on the Annex IX exclusion list, the obligation not to contribute to deforestation, not to come from protected areas, and to come from countries that are signatories to the Paris Agreement. From 2041, e-fuels (synthetic fuels) must be produced from biogenic CO2, in accordance with the European Union’s REDIII Directive.
Why choose biogenic CO2?
Biogenic CO2 refers to carbon emitted or stored in the atmosphere from biological or organic sources. This carbon is considered “neutral” in terms of emissions, as it comes from a short cycle in which carbon is absorbed by plants and then released during the combustion or degradation of organic matter.
Sources of biogenic CO2 include :
Organic raw materials
Plants, trees and other forms of biomass.
Organic waste
Agricultural, food and forestry residues
Fermentation
Microbial processes generating CO2.
Biomass combustion
Wood waste, plant residues, sewage sludge.
Today, the main source of biogenic CO2 is the recovery of CO2 captured during biogas purification.
Who can benefit from biogenic CO2?
Biogenic CO2 is of interest to various industrial sectors:
Renewable energies
Companies producing energy from biomass or other renewable sources can use biogenic CO2 for industrial processes or for the production of synthetic fuels.
Food industry
Biogenic CO2 is used in the production of soft drinks and for food preservation.
Agriculture
Used for market garden crops in greenhouses, where CO2 is enriched to accelerate plant growth.
Green chemistry sector
Biogenic CO2 can be transformed into sustainable chemicals, such as biodegradable plastics.
Water treatment
Use in water treatment and purification.
Carbon offset programs
Some companies buy biogenic CO2 credits to offset their fossil CO2 emissions as part of their carbon neutrality strategy.
Carbon capture and storage (CCS) industries
These industries can use biogenic CO2 for geological storage, helping to reduce atmospheric CO2 emissions.
Manufacturers of synthetic fuels
Biogenic CO2 is an essential raw material for the production of alternative fuels, reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
How GREENEA
can help you
GREENEA plays a central role in the brokerage of biogenic CO2, offering you comprehensive expertise to maximize the value of this innovative product:
- Quality guarantee: We ensure that the biogenic CO2 you purchase meets the highest industry standards.
- Setting up certifications: We help you obtain the necessary certifications for using biogenic CO2, such as E290 (food standard), EIGA (industrial specification), ISBT (soft drinks standard), and R744 (specification for industrial use).
- Selling CO2 as a raw material: We connect producers of biogenic CO2 with the industries that need it, ensuring optimal valorization of this resource.
- Technological choices: We advise methanization, gasification, biomass boiler and ethanol production plants on the most appropriate technologies for capturing and valorizing their biogenic CO2.
- Strategic partnerships: We facilitate collaborations with gas companies, synthetic fuel manufacturers, capture industries, as well as the food and chemical sectors.
