Techbau S.p.A. and Retina Holding have completed the ignition of the biogas flare

Techbau S.p.A. and Retina Holding have completed the ignition of the biogas flare at the Velletri biomethane production plant, marking a significant technical milestone in the commissioning phase of the facility.

This step confirms the proper operation of the main process systems and represents a key transition from construction to start-up. The project follows a development approach fully aligned with ESG principles, with particular attention to plant performance, energy efficiency, decarbonisation and the responsible valorisation of organic resources within a circular-economy framework.

Once fully operational, the plant will reach a production capacity of approximately 500 Smc/h of biomethane, contributing to the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable gas and supporting the reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions in both the energy and mobility sectors.

The Velletri site is part of a broader program involving the development of 20 biomethane plants, aimed at concretely supporting the energy transition.
