December 09, 2025 [Storage Terminals Magazine]- VIDA bioenergy has successfully commissioned its first biogenic CO₂ recovery and liquefaction facility at its Glentham site in the United Kingdom, marking a significant milestone in the sustainable production of biogenic carbon dioxide and paving the way for future opportunities in long-term sequestration. The development reinforces the company’s commitment to expanding low-carbon solutions and advancing the circular use of biogenic CO₂.

The Glentham facility is a 60 GWh-per-year biomethane production site that processes agricultural crops and residues to generate biomethane, which is injected directly into the UK’s high-pressure National Transmission System. With the integration of the new liquefaction unit, VIDA bioenergy is now capturing and purifying the second major component of biogas—high-purity biogenic CO₂—making it available for use across industrial, food, and beverage sectors. This added capability strengthens the reliability of domestic CO₂ supply and enhances the overall efficiency of the plant’s resource utilisation.

Robert Richards, general manager of VIDA bioenergy UK, noted that the company is pleased to have safely and smoothly brought its first liquid CO₂ facility online, with biogenic CO₂ already being supplied to customers, including prominent names in the beverage and brewing industries. VIDA bioenergy CEO Lars Boetje added that biogas CO₂ capture delivers exceptional value, describing the Glentham plant as the model for future VIDA bioenergy developments.
