BUTAGAZ AND GLOBAL
BIOENERGIES
ANNOUNCE THEIR FIRST DELIVERY OF BIO ISOBUTENE, A
BIO-SOURCED GAS,
TO THE HERACLES WINERY.
On 12 March 2019,
the Heracles winery, France's first ecological
smart winery was able to take advantage of the first ever delivery
containing bio-isobutene, a highly innovative bio-sourced
gas.
Codognan (France), 12 March
2019.
With a continuing drive to
contribute to France's objectives in terms of reducing greenhouse
gas emissions, Butagaz and Global Bioenergies are promoting
bio-isobutene, an innovative bio-sourced gas.
As such, following the exclusive
distribution of bottles containing bio-isobutene for the first time
in France last year (read the press release), Butagaz and Global
Bioenergies have now come together to deliver for the first time
bio-isobutene to the Héraclès winery, France's biggest organic wine
cooperative.
Butagaz and Global Bioenergies, a synergy of
skills and expertise supporting the energy transition.
As a leading French player in the
multi-energy sector, Butagaz aims to become the go-to provider
assisting all French citizens through their energy transition.
Supplying natural gas,
electricity, wood pellets and of course propane and butane gas,
Butagaz is continuing to diversify through its partnership with
Global Bioenergies, a French company and pioneer in using renewable
resources such as sugar beet to produce gaseous hydrocarbons
through fermentation.
In this context, Butagaz and
Global Bioenergies are offering to the Héraclès winery, France's
leading connected and ecological wine producer, the first delivery
of gas containing 3% bio-isobutene**, a gas produced using biomass
resources which can help to reduce CO2 emissions by
up to 40%*.
" Our ambition is
to develop "green" gas capabilities by choosing to gradually
introduce bio-isobutene into propane gas and thus provide a
traceable and innovative product that is made in France, enabling
us to empower companies.
In this way we want to empower the Héraclès
Winery, a leader in organic wine-making, and, more recently, with
the introduction of its smart cellar, a response to the long term
economic challenges. As such we share with them a commitment to
reducing the footprint of energy consumption. It is for this reason
that we wanted the Winery to be our pilot project. "says
Emmanuel Mannooretonil, Director of New Business Development and
Innovation at Butagaz.
"This production
was shipped from our demo plant. Other bio-sourced products are set
to follow this first delivery in 2019. As such we want to gradually
support the cooperative through its energy transition. "adds
Marc Delcourt, CEO, Co-founder of Global Bioenergies.
Héraclès Winery,
the example of a smart and ecological approach.
As a consortium of professional
wine-makers and oenologists driven by a shared vision of a greener
future, the Cooperative has committed to a sustainable development
policy with a focus on organic cultivation and traditional
wine-making.
It has been promoting organic
wine-making since 1994 and some 80% of its production is now
organic. As such, to meet a growing demand from consumers who are
ever more environmentally aware, the winery has built France's
first ecological smart*** cellar. An ultra-modern cellar with state
of the art equipment to guarantee consistent quality standards.

dedicated to wine;
