Our project proposes set
up a methane gas extraction plant which will provide a local response to energy
needs. A number of industrial sized modules could be installed on the lake at
various sites of potential consumption. This choice of delocalised sites seems
a better solution than the setting up of a single production centre. This
approach is more in line with official wishes for development and the regrouping
of local populations. Providing energy in certain specific places would aid this
regrouping for the local development of artisanal or even industrial projects | We
have scaled our pilot extraction plant to produce 2.5 million Nm3 per year, which
is to say between 5 and 10 times less than the large scale projects envisaged
in the past. These production units can of course be replicated in order to supply
enough gas to the different large consumers of calorific energy. In order to best
respond to the specific needs of the different conceivable projects, we are also
proposing two other types of extraction plant, identical in working principle
but whose flow and equipment have been redimensioned according to the quantity
of energy to be extracted. |
