In Hungary, Portfolio reports Mol’s first biomethane plant was handed over in Szarvas. After the more than 2.7 billion HUF development, the biomethane produced in the plant will be fed into the national natural gas network, replacing more than 7 million cubic meters of natural gas in the gas network with renewable energy sources every […]
In France, Epopée Gestion, Urbeez, and EnerVivo announce a strategic partnership dedicated to methanization and biomethane in France. The three partners are combining their expertise to accelerate the conversion of existing cogeneration units to biomethane injection and to develop new units. An initial investment already has been made in the Dessous Machecot methanization unit, located […]
In Crete, Metacon’s fully owned Greek subsidiary Metacon SA has been awarded EU project funding to develop and demonstrate hydrogen production from biomethane in the BIOH2VAP project. The project will validate Metacon’s reforming technology in an industrial biogas setting and assess the commercial potential of converting locally produced biomethane into renewable hydrogen. The effective amount […]
In Italy, Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its Advanced Bioenergy Fund II (ABF II), has reached final investment decision (FID) on Via Verde, an Italian biomethane platform. ABF II invests primarily in the development, construction, and operation of biogas plants across Europe, converting agricultural waste and other sustainable feedstock into biomethane. Via Verde represents ABF […]
In Belgium, the European Biogas Association (EBA) has published a new leaflet examining the key regulatory and administrative barriers affecting the biogas and biomethane sector and presenting targeted policy recommendations to address them. The publication explores five areas where barriers persist: permitting and planning, investment and market certainty, market integration, climate recognition and carbon accounting, […]
In Indonesia, Toyota Tsusho Corporation said it established PT KIS Toyota Tsusho Biomethane Indonesia (KTBI), a joint venture company, with PT KIS Biofuels Indonesia (KBI), a company active in the biomethane business, in September 2026. The joint venture will produce and sell biomethane in Indonesia and aims to commence commercial operations in 2027. As a […]
In Illinois, Lakeshore Recycling Systems (LRS) has selected Waga Energy to build and operate a biomethane production unit at the Eco-Hill Landfill in Atkinson, Illinois. This project will transform landfill gas into a renewable, local energy source that can be directly injected into the gas grid. Under a long-term agreement, Waga Energy will finance, build, […]
In Spain, together with the environmental service provider PreZero and Enagás Renovable, WELTEC BIOPOWER began construction of a biomethane plant north of Madrid in August 2026. After commissioning, the plant in Colmenar Viejo will generate up to 60 gigawatt hours of green energy annually. This corresponds to the energy requirements of around 11,700 households or […]
In Turkey, CNN reports biogas and garbage gas plants in Turkey are projected to be produced annually by 2040 by 10 billion cubic meters of domestic renewable biomethane. According to the report prepared by BİYOYATDER, the transformation of existing facilities can also make a significant contribution to the reduction of emissions. It is estimated that […]
