Solarig to invest $410M to produce 1 TWh/y of biomethane in Poland

In Poland, Solarig, through its green division, Biorig, will invest PLN 1.5 billion in the Polish biomethane market by creating a major platform with the capacity to produce 1 TWh/y — enough to power 400,000 average Polish households.

The Spanish company aims to be a leader in this emerging segment of the local economy. Especially, since Poland has significant potential for biomethane production, which, according to the Polish Economic Institute (PIE), could reach as much as 8 billion m³ per year, corresponding to 46% of the country’s natural gas demand. In the long term – by 2050 – it may increase to even 13 billion m³ (Gas for Climate data), which would place Poland in 5th place in the EU in terms of production capacity.
