If you want to buy or sell biomethane in a targeted manner, we’re the partner for you. Our broad portfolio of different qualities enables us to find the right product for every customer. But what makes this renewable gas future-proof, and how is it produced?
From biomass to biomethane. Biomethane is produced from organic feedstocks such as manure, organic waste, agricultural residues and renewable raw materials. These feedstocks are digested in a biogas plant, where biogas is generated.
The biogas is then upgraded to natural gas quality. The resulting biomethane has characteristics as natural gas and can be injected into the existing gas grid. This allows biomethane to be transported, stored and allocated to different applications through existing gas infrastructure.

Biomethane is used in industry, heating, power generation and mobility. Depending on its quality, origin, certification and intended use, biomethane can partially or fully replace natural gas.
Regulatory requirements and certification schemes influence how biomethane can be used in different sectors. Traceability, mass balancing systems and recognized certification standards play an important role in this process.
Biomethane is a versatile energy source that can be used across a wide range of applications. Thanks to its properties, it is suitable for heat supply, power generation, industrial processes and as a fuel in the mobility sector.
Depending on the application, biomethane can be blended with or fully replace natural gas. It can be transported and allocated through existing gas infrastructure, making it suitable for a variety of energy, industrial and mobility applications.
Biomethane is used for heat supply and power generation across a wide range of applications, including residential districts, commercial properties, public buildings and other energy supply concepts.
In combined heat and power plants (CHP), heat and electricity can be generated simultaneously. Biomethane can be used in existing CHP systems and supports heat and power generation through established gas infrastructure.
Biomethane is used in energy intensive industrial applications where natural gas is currently used for process heat, steam generation and manufacturing processes. Depending on the biomethane share and the specific application, it may lower the reported emissions and the related carbon costs.
Biomethane is used as Bio-CNG or Bio-LNG in the transport sector and can be supplied through the gas grid. Many gas stations already use biomethane as a fuel.
For gas station operators, municipal utilities and companies with their own refuelling infrastructure, biomethane can support compliance with regulatory requirements in the mobility sector and provide access to opportunities associated with the greenhouse gas reduction quota (GHG quota).
Renewable energy sources such as wind power and solar energy are important components of today’s energy system. Their availability depends on weather conditions such as wind and sunlight. Biomethane complements these energy sources because it can be transported, stored and used when needed.
By being injected into the gas grid, biomethane can be supplied independently of where it is produced. Depending on the application, biomethane can replace natural gas and be used across different sectors, including heat supply, power generation, industry and mobility.
These characteristics are becoming increasingly relevant in light of evolving regulatory requirements. With the German Building Modernisation Act (GModG), increasing shares of renewable fuels are expected to play a role in the building sector. For utilities, municipal energy providers, contracting companies and the real estate sector, biomethane therefore represents an additional option for meeting future energy and regulatory requirements.
