La Mède biorefinery project, France
Name of the Project
La Mède biorefinery project.
Location
France.
Client
Suez and Total.
Project Description
Total is transforming its La Mède site into France’s first biorefinery, which is expected to be one of the largest in Europe once completed.
The facility will produce biodiesel by refining used cooking, residual and vegetable oils. The high-quality biodiesel will be easily blended into regular diesel in any proportion, with no adverse impact on fuel quality or engines.
Currently, 45 000 t/y of used cooking oil are collected, out of an estimated total of more than 100 000 t. Suez and Total will increase the amount of used oil by more than 20% and improve its conversion through a short energy production loop beneficial to the environment.
Suez will supply 20 000 t/y of used cooking oil to Total to be processed into biofuel.
Jobs to be Created
The new unit will create about 50 jobs.
