In France, TotalEnergies has acquired a 20% stake in Ductor, a Finland-based start-up that has developed an innovative technology to process high-nitrogen organic waste, such as poultry manure, which is usually difficult to use for biomethane production. By allowing the treatment of new types of input, this technology is helping to accelerate the development of […]
In Latvia, with the aim to promote biomethane production and its free circulation in Latvia, the unified natural gas transmission and storage system operator AS Conexus Baltic Grid (Conexus) has developed a unique solution in the Baltics, allowing biomethane producers to deliver biomethane to a centralised biomethane entry point using special mobile gas containers to […]
In Belgium, the European Biogas Association welcomed the recognition of biomethane among the strategic net-zero technologies in the Net-Zero Industrial Act. The new regulation proposal puts the supply of clean technologies at the center. Earlier last year the REPowerEU’s action plan featured the objective of 35 bcm (370 TWh) annual biomethane production by 2030, a […]
In Italy, Anaergia Inc. has commissioned a new biomethane facility in northern Italy, expanding its extensive waste-to-biomethane platform in Europe. The plant, Ambiente & Risorse, is owned by Anaergia and has the capacity to anaerobically digest 40,000 metric tons of landfill-diverted food scraps, converting it to 3,900,000 cubic meters of renewable natural gas (biomethane) for […]
In Mexico, Natural Gas Intel reports Engie is developing the first biomethane project in Mexico to be connected to the natural gas grid. Although the company is exploring opportunities for hydrogen in the country, it is first focusing on biogas not only because it already has extensive experience in Europe, but also because industrial consumers […]
In Italy, the Ministry of Environment and Energy Security has issued a decree approving the application rules for accessing the incentives for the introduction of biomethane into the natural gas network. The act is one of the actions envisaged to implement the measure of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) which supports […]
In Spain, public bus operator, Moventis TCC Pamplona, Spain, has acquired 13 brand new gas buses from Scania – to run on biomethane only. As part of the Moventia group, the company carries out urban transport in Pamplona and 17 municipal districts in the northern Spanish region of Navarra. This purchase is a first step […]
In Estonia, the Baltic Times newspaper reports the Estonian government has approved an extension on subsidies for biomethane production for transport through June 2024. With gas supply issues continuing to be a challenge for those countries who have traditionally purchased gas from Russia, the government wants to further promote domestic biomethane production to help shore […]
In Canada, in the coming years, around $1 billion will be invested in building up to 10 biomethane plants in Quebec together with Énergir, Quebec’s leading gas supply company. This is Nature Energy’s largest investment to date outside the country’s borders. Nature Energy and Énergir will jointly develop, build, and operate biomethane plants that together […]
In Ukraine, the Odessa Journal reports Chernihivgaz has resolved the connectivity issues of the country’s first biomethane facility at Hals Agro that it will allow it to connect to the gas distribution networks via an 800-meter-long pipeline by the end of the year. The facility pipeline will allow for the transfer of 330 cubic meters […]
