Ireland’s first large-scale biomethane plant, opening in 2026, will power Alexion’s sites using farm waste, cutting emissions and boosting rural income.
A new biomethane plant in Duleek, Ireland, set to open in late 2026, will convert grass and agricultural waste into renewable gas using anaerobic digestion, supplying 100% of heating needs for Alexion’s Irish manufacturing sites.
The €80 million project, backed by a 15-year supply agreement with AstraZeneca’s Alexion, is Ireland’s first large-scale biomethane facility with “additionality,” meaning it adds new renewable capacity to the national grid.
It will produce 40–42 GWh of biomethane annually, reduce emissions by over 21,000 tonnes yearly, and generate 45,000 tonnes of biofertilizer.
The plant, part of a planned 10-site rollout, will source feedstock from local farmers within 15km, providing a new income stream and supporting rural economies.
It will be among the most advanced AI-controlled industrial facilities globally, using smart technology for optimization.
La primera planta de biometano a gran escala de Irlanda, que se inaugurará en 2026, suministrará electricidad a las instalaciones de Alexion utilizando residuos agrícolas, reduciendo las emisiones y aumentando los ingresos rurales.
