In New Zealand, produced by breaking down organic waste and other organic materials, biomethane can be a core part of our renewable energy supply by 2035, GasNZs chief executive Jeffrey Clarke says. Biomethane could meet half of New Zealand’s natural gas demand by 2050, a new report from GasNZ says. Produced by breaking down organic […]
In Italy, Anaergia S.r.l. recently signed amendments to three previously announced contracts with an entity owned by QGM S.à.r.l. relating to the development of three state-of-the-art biomethane production facilities in Ostellato, Copparo, and Derovere, in northern Italy. As a result of these amendments, the scope of Anaergia S.r.l.’s activities across the three projects has expanded, […]
In the UK, thirty‑eight applications have been lodged to build new or expand existing UK biomethane plants, representing one of the most substantial surges yet in new UK capacity of this renewable energy. Cadent, the UK’s largest gas distribution network, is now assessing these applications against its new ‘clustering’ approach. The applications span Cadent’s UK […]
In Ireland, Pure Data Centres Group has achieved 100% decarbonization of natural gas consumption during 2025 through Europe’s first successful biomethane proof of concept (PoC). Throughout 2025, all operational natural gas consumption was matched with renewable biomethane, using independently certified gas attributes and recognised Irish and European accounting methodologies. Pure DC utilised Irish Renewable Gas […]
In Italy, Andion CH4 Renewables successfully closed a €24 million project financing to fund the construction of its fully permitted biomethane production plant in Mirandola (Modena), Emilia-Romagna. The project represents a further milestone in Andion’s integrated platform strategy focused on the development, construction and long-term operation of low-carbon anaerobic digestion infrastructure across Europe. The Mirandola […]
In Germany, Bundesnetzagentur recently published two determinations setting price ceilings for the biomass and biomethane auctions to be held in 2026. The maximum price that can be bid for new biomass installations remains 19.43 cents per kilowatt hour (ct/kWh) and that for existing biomass installations 19.83 ct/kWh. A ceiling of 23.13 ct/kWh will apply to biomethane installations. The price ceilings for biomass […]
In the UK, Platts, part of S&P Global Energy, proposes to update the names of its European biomethane GO assessments, effective May 15, 2026. The proposal aims to provide greater clarity around the geographic, feedstock, subsidy, and certification status for each assessment, providing granular information at a glance. The underlying specifications, definitions, and methodology of […]
In France, Les Echos reports the French producer group Cerafel, which markets its vegetables under the Prince of Brittany brand, is setting up with Engie a local biogenic CO2 sector derived from agricultural methanization. From 2026, two units operated by Engie in Ploufragan, Côtes-d’Armor, and Noyal-Pontivy, Morbihan, will capture the CO2 generated during biomethane production. […]
In Ukraine, the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine has officially launched the Register of Biomethane – the state digital system of accounting, verification and confirmation of the origin of renewable gas. The biomethane register is an information and communication system designed to register biomethane volumes submitted to the gas transmission […]
