Biogas production at the Tamié Abbey

Cheese factory sewage treatment

The Abbey of Tamié shelters cisterican monks who produce cheese. Within the framework of energy saving and the development of renewable energies, a plant of sewage treatment has been installed in order to produce biogas. This methanogenesis unit porduces biogas which is then burnt into a boiler to feed the whole Abbey with heated water. Here is the internet link of the site where you can see the video concerning this porject. Look in the episodes for the one dated of 03/03/10 nammed "les moines
