Next to the usual “flowery villages” or “plains and mountains of France”, a new panel sports the mention “Green gas, committed city” at the entrance to the village of Tank. This town of 1,500 inhabitants in the north of Seine-et-Marne is the first in Île-de-France to highlight the fact that its inhabitants are fueled by biomethane produced by a methanizer. A way for the network network Distribution France (GRDF) to promote “a positive image with the population and to encourage farmers to embark on this diversification”.
Arriving near the village, it is difficult to miss this installation made up of huge gray tanks wearing a dome. Five years ago, farmers from Charny presented this project to the mayor Xavier Ferreira (SE) after being hit hard by the 2016 agricultural crisis.
