EemsGas scores $174.7M subsidy from Netherlands Enterprise Agency
In the Netherlands, EemsGas Project – with an investment of €100 million becoming one of the largest production facilities for biomethane (green gas) in the Netherlands – has received an SDE++ subsidy grant from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO). This provides an operating subsidy worth €149.8 million. The subsidy gives EemsGas certainty of operating income for the next fifteen years. EemsGas is a 50/50 joint venture in which sustainable raw materials producer Perpetual Next and Gasunie, the leading Dutch natural gas infrastructure and transportation company, have been working together since 2022 to produce large volumes of biomethane from waste wood.
At the end of last year, EemsGas already received commitment for a DEI+ investment subsidy of €30 million. This is earmarked for the construction of a green gas plant at the Chemical Park in Delfzijl. The SDE++ subsidy now awarded supports the production phase: it covers a minimum price for biomethane and thereby provides long-term certainty on operating income.
