Biomethane

Biomethane plays a key role in the energy transition. It provides a sustainable alternative to natural gas and contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions. Biomethane is ‘upgraded’ from biogas, which is produced from organic waste. It can be directly injected into the existing gas network and used in households and industries. Producing biomethane and injecting it into the natural gas network requires careful monitoring and mandatory quality controls. We make this concrete through audits, sampling, gas analyses and gas cameras.

The role of biogas and biomethane in the energy transition

Biogas is produced from manure, sludge and other organic waste. After ‘upgrading’, biogas can be blended as biomethane into the natural gas network. Discover how this works.

Green gas: A circular opportunity for water boards

Water boards treat vast amounts of wastewater daily, leaving behind sewage sludge. This sludge presents an opportunity to contribute to the energy transition by digesting it into biogas, which can then be upgraded to green gas. By doing so, water boards can make their energy supply more sustainable and play a circular role in the energy market.

4 Reasons for waste processors to produce green gas

Waste processors play a key role in the circular economy. By converting organic waste into green gas, you can contribute to the energy transition while making your operations more sustainable. Additionally, green gas provides an extra revenue stream and helps optimize the use of residual waste.

Trends and developments in green gas

Green gas is playing an increasingly important role in the Dutch energy transition. The government is actively promoting a mix of renewable energy sources, including wind, solar and green gas. The goal is to produce two billion cubic meters (BCM) of green gas annually in the Netherlands from 2030 onwards. Let’s dive deeper into the trends, developments, and opportunities.
