The challenge is significant in terms of limiting global warming, as methane has a greenhouse gas effect 80 times greater than CO2 over a ten-year period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generating green electricity and gas<br>Specifically, this project involves installing cogeneration units on former coal mines. Decompression wells have been placed throughout the network of abandoned mine galleries, which extends over 100,000 kilometers in northern France.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCapturing this methane at the outlet allows us to generate green electricity, benefiting from a regulated tariff set by the French state for a duration of fifteen years, produce green gas distributed through the GRT Gaz network, and also generate green heat for local communities through a long-term contract with the city of B\u00e9thune,\u201d explains Shirley Chojnacki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Edmond de Rothschild participated in this project via a bond issuance with the French Energy Company (FDE). This bond was issued in 2021 with the purpose of deploying more cogeneration units at gas capture sites in mines. This bond was subsequently extended with additional debt. \u201cToday, we have invested nearly \u20ac85 million with FDE, not only for this project but also for others in different countries and with different technologies,\u201d notes Shirley Chojnacki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Content written by Florent Berthat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cWe pay close attention to the social aspects and the impact on local communities of the energy transition projects we finance,\u201d confirms Shirley Chojnacki, Head of Infrastructure Energy Investments at Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management.
