As per ESG Today, Paris-based CryoCollect develops and uses technologies aimed at gas treatment, purification and liquefaction for carbon dioxide, hydrogen and biomethane, which enables it to generate biogas. Biogas is generated from agricultural and household waste streams and is further processed by company experts to generate biomethane or bio-LNG (liquified natural gas).

Haytham Sayah, CEO and Co-founder of CryoCollect, said that "besides being strongly committed to accelerating the energy transition, ENGIE embraces a large array of activities (in biogas production, bioLNG, energy efficiency in the industry, etc.) that have a great fit with our portfolio of technologies."

While biogas is chemically identical to natural fossil gas, it has significantly lower lifetime emissions, enabling hard-to-abate industries, such as road transport or heavy industries, to decarbonize.

Camille Bonenfant-Jeanneney, Managing Director of Engie Renewable Gases Europe, added that "CryoCollect’s CO2 capture technology is particularly energy efficient and enables zero emission from our anaerobic digesters. This is the new standard of the biogas industry and an opportunity for ENGIE to further support the decarbonization of the industry by valorizing a biogenic CO2 which displaces fossil CO2.”
