The facility, located in the town of Bama in A Coruña, Touro will generate 3,000,000 kWh of clean energy per year, preventing the emission of more than 600 tons of CO2.
Madrid, May 13, 2025 – Bioenergy Ibérica, a company specializing in the construction of renewable energy projects and waste management, has begun commissioning the biogas plant at the Queizuar cheese factory in Bama, Touro, A Coruña. The biogas plant is now operational and will generate 3,000,000 kWh of clean energy per year, preventing the emission of more than 600 tons of CO2.
With this Bioenergy Ibérica project, a pioneer in the food industry, Queizuar has committed to efficiency and decarbonization by valorizing its own waste and by-products, such as lactose and sewage sludge, to generate clean and environmentally friendly energy, significantly reducing CO2 emissions and thus reducing the industry’s dependence on fossil fuels by 80%.
“We are very pleased to have brought this circular energy plant to fruition. It will improve the energy balance of Queizuar’s facilities by utilizing its own energy, making the company more competitive and resilient to changes in the global energy market,” said José Luis Romero, Operations Director of Bioenergy Ibérica. “At Bioenergy Ibérica, we are firmly committed to finding energy solutions that provide local energy and, in turn, generate social impact in their area of operation. This biogas project is a prime example, and we thank Queizuar for the trust they have placed in us,” Romero concluded.
“This biogas plant allows us to continue growing in a sustainable and circular way and to fulfill our objective, which is to produce traditional Galician cheeses using environmentally friendly technologies,” said Benigno Pereira, founding partner of Queizuar.
