The simplified joint-stock company Canac-Paulhe’s project was the result of a collaboration between two neighbours looking to safeguard the future of their family businesses (cow and sheep’s milk). The cogeneration plant produces 265 kW of electricity and converts 11,000 tonnes of mixed feedstock (effluents, cheese factory waste, vegetable waste) into biogas each year. The electricity is sold while the heat powers a drying system and a waste hygienisation unit.
