Administrative and regulatory engineering
Develop anaerobic digestion projects
In France, specific authorisations are required to initiate an anaerobic digestion project and recover territorial organic waste. Thanks to feedback, Evergaz has gained recognised skills in administrative engineering, enabling the completion of their projects within the deadlines defined with their partners.
According to the administrative requirements of the facilities – declaration, registration, authorisation – Evergaz compiles the data required to obtain the operating authorisation. If necessary, Evergaz uses specialised consultancy firms to carry out specific complementary studies – hazard study, impact study, odour study, etc.
Evergaz insures its anaerobic digestion projects during the construction stage and throughout their operation. Evergaz has insurance policies to limit the risks and reassure its partners in biogas projects.
Based on plans, drawings, sketches, partially or entirely created by the companies, Evergaz compiles all the data required for the preparation of the Planning Permission by the architect or project manager selected for the project. The application is prepared in accordance with applicable regulations on anaerobic digestion projects: consideration of safety distances, useful retention areas, fire fighting devices, etc.
So that the electricity produced can be used via the ERDF grid, Evergaz takes all appropriate steps for the electrical connection of the facilities, and establishes electricity purchase and sales contracts.
