EEG power generation using biomethane in combined heat and power plants (CHP)

Biomethane in EEG power generation

The use of biomethane in combined electricity and heat generation is an efficient technology option. That is why combined heat and power (CHP) and gas plants are increasingly using biomethane for power generation. Even if you are operating an older combined heat and power plant (CHP), switching to biomethane can be more economical than operating it with natural gas.

Entering the biomethane world with EEG

As an operator, you will receive guaranteed compensation rates for electricity generation in accordance with the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG). The current EEG at the time of commissioning is decisive for the actual amount of the electricity remuneration. Electricity revenues can be further increased through the direct sale of electricity and use of the flexibility premium, rendering the substitution of natural gas with renewable biomethane even more commercially interesting.

Not all biomethane is the same. Physically it is natural gas, and its quality and the associated EEG remuneration depend on its production and use.

A tenfold increase: Today, about 10 TWh are produced in Germany each year. According to dena, by 2050 the amount could be more than 100 TWh.
