What DualMetha does

DualMetha SAS is a French private biomethane company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Paris. The company develops, constructs, finances, and operates anaerobic digestion plants that convert agricultural and organic waste into biomethane for grid injection. Its core proprietary asset is DUALMETHA™, a patented hybrid methanization process that combines discontinuous digestion for dry, woody, or complex materials with continuous digestion for liquid or fluid materials in a single installation, allowing the plant to process diverse biomass inputs without intensive pre-treatment, grinding, or mechanical separation. The technology is marketed as consuming 35% less energy than standard processes and producing 100% solid digestate, which simplifies agricultural spreading and reduces logistics costs.

The business model is integrated and project-based: DualMetha acts simultaneously as developer, builder, investor, and operator of biomethane units, deploying its own capital into each project company while offering agricultural partners (livestock breeders, cereal farmers, polyfarmers) the option to co-invest and participate in project governance. Revenue is generated through the sale of biomethane (and related services such as plant operational management, input optimization, and preventive maintenance) rather than through licensing or equipment sales. The company serves three vertical segments — the agricultural sector (its primary customer base), local authorities seeking local renewable energy production, and industrial players with organic waste streams. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales: DualMetha prospects projects, secures administrative authorizations, builds economic models, and signs long-term partnership contracts with farmer co-investors.

At present DualMetha operates two production sites (Prémery, commissioned 2022; Strawberry, commissioned 2024), has one site under construction (Champvert, targeted 2025/2026), and six additional projects in the French administrative authorization pipeline (Blancafort, Gannay-sur-Loire, Sainte-Montaine, Saint-Hilaire de Court, Pourrain, Aschères), all concentrated in France's Central region. The company is led by President Jérôme De Segogne and Director General Quentin Moreno, with a functional directorate covering construction, operations, finance, legal, HR, and strategy. The firm has no disclosed external venture or private equity backing beyond an early 2018 grant of approximately $83,000 from EISMEA.
