At the Valladolid Gas Show, the company reaffirmed its leadership in innovation and its commitment to the future of biomethane, and emphasized the importance of the three-pronged success it represents: water management, waste valorization, and renewable gas generation.
- SITRA emphasizes that biomethane is a strategic tool to accelerate the energy transition and revitalize rural areas.
- The company is calling for greater regulatory agility and more outreach and information efforts to promote the deployment of this renewable energy in Spain.
- “We need to showcase these projects and highlight their social impact,” said Ricardo Sáez, CEO of SITRA.
La digitization and social communication are consolidated as two key factors for the future of biomethaneConclusions drawn from the step of ZITHER, As an expert in the design, construction and technological transformation of bioenergy and industrial water management projects, at one of the leading events in the sector in Spain: the International Bioenergy Congress and the Renewable Gas Exhibition 2025, held in Valladolid.
A specialized forum, where the company has highlighted “The importance of technology in the development of new biomethane plants” and has claimed “Greater regulatory agility and a greater effort in dissemination to consolidate the deployment of this renewable energy in Spain”, in the words of its CEO, Ricardo Saez.
Mature technology with real solutions
Thus, SITRA participated in the opening panel of the Congress along with representatives from other companies in the sector such as MOEVE, Enagás Renovables, ENCE, NEDGIA and PreZeroIn it, the participants recalled that Spain has great potential to produce biomethane, but that it is necessary to move forward with a clearer regulatory framework and effective incentives for these projects to become established.
Along these lines, these industry experts have referred to specific measures taken in other European countries, which are subject to a very different tax regime.
The general manager of SITRA, Ricardo Sáez, He has emphasized the two major challenges facing the sector today: “the need to speed up the processing of bioenergy plants and improve dialogue with society” to bring Spain in line with neighboring countries in its relationship with the bioenergy sector.
Saez also added that "What we need to do is teach about the plants and communicate better, because only in this way will we reduce the reservations that a part of society has towards this renewable energy."
Automation and digitization, transformative drivers of the sector
The company also highlighted at the congress the importance of automation and digitalization for transforming the sector. In this context, SITRA presented a technical poster on the advantages of integrating innovative tools that it already uses in the construction of its biomethane plants, such as the one for Toledo Mountains.
Un tool pull which include BIM methodologywhich allows you to design and build these plants from a 3D model unifying all the work during its construction; the WIM tool, a platform developed by SITRA capable of monitoring all the processes of these plants in real time, automating tasks and optimizing production; or specialized CMMS software which centralizes information from the equipment of these plants, planning and supervising their operation and maintenance.
Virtual Reality for an immersive experience
Furthermore, at the Gas Show, SITRA offered visitors the opportunity to experience this technology firsthand through an immersive virtual reality experience inside one of these cutting-edge plants, using augmented reality glasses. This experience allowed them to see how a 3D design... It becomes a real, automated, and connected plant.
Using real images and digital recreations, the company has shown the direct impact of technology on the work of all agents involved in a process that starts from agricultural and livestock waste and ends with the generation of biomethane and biofertilizers.
Expertise 360º: from industrial water to biogas
Beyond biomethane, SITRA has consolidated its role at the trade fair as a leader in anaerobic technology applied to industrial water. In this regard, The projects implemented by the company already produce more than 1,7 million cubic meters of biogas per yearwhich their customers use for self-consumption in boilers, flares, and cogeneration engines. An example of how their 360º expertise It integrates a successful triad: water management, waste valorization, and renewable gas generation.
