Monza (MB) – Mirandola (MO), August 4 – SOL S.p.A. (“SOL”) – one of Italy’s leading producers of technical, industrial, and medical gases – and ANDION ITALY S.r.l. (“Andion”), the Italian subsidiary of Andion CH4 – a European leader in proven energy recovery solutions through the anaerobic digestion of agricultural by-products and organic waste – have signed an agreement to build a plant for the production of liquid biomethane (bio-LNG) from livestock biomass and agricultural by-products in Mirandola, in the province of Modena.

Specifically, AIRSOL S.r.l., a wholly owned subsidiary of SOL S.p.A., has acquired a 20% stake in BIOMETHAN GREEN 1 – SOCIETÀ AGRICOLA S.R.L., a company controlled by Andion and holding the permits for the construction and operation of the plant in Modena.

With a total investment of over 20 million euros, the plant is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by the first half of 2026.
