Magnon, a subsidiary of the Ence Group, and Mahou San Miguel, a leading beverage and services company in the Spanish beer sector, have started the construction of the infrastructure for the installation of two biomass boilers of 10 MWt each at Mahou San Miguel’s plant in Alovera (Guadalajara), Spain.
The boilers will allow the supply of 85 GWht per year of renewable thermal energy for 15 years.
With this initiative, to which it has allocated more than €16 million, Mahou San Miguel will be able to reduce its plant’s direct CO2 emissions by 95%, according to the company.
In addition, Magnon will also be responsible for the assembly, commissioning and operation of the facility to generate thermal energy from biomass.
Biomass will replace natural gas, whose existing installation will only function as a back-up service, practically in its entirety.
The facility is scheduled to be commissioned during the first half of 2026. This project has a grant of €4 million awarded by the Strategic Project for the Recovery and Economic Transformation (PERTE).
