3i Infrastructure acquires UK’s Future Biogas

In the UK, 3i Infrastructure has acquired Future Biogas, a founder led group developing and operating biogas plants across the UK. Future Biogas is the largest biomethane producer in the UK and currently operates 11 biogas plants across the UK, which it has developed and subsequently sold to institutional investors. 3i Infrastructure’s investment will support the continued growth and development of the business.

Future Biogas plants convert a wide range of crops, as feedstocks into clean, renewable energy, through a process of anaerobic digestion which produces biogas via the breakdown of microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. The resulting biogas can either be used to generate green electricity or upgraded into biomethane and injected into the UK’s national gas network.
