Biomethane: fact, fiction, and the buying decision
Biomethane can look straightforward until you start comparing what you’re buying.
Does switching require new infrastructure? Does a green tariff mean the gas and certificate come from the same source? Is cross-border trade as straightforward as it looks?
Europe is now home to nearly 2,000 biomethane production facilities across 25 countries, and more than 86% of them already feed into the existing gas grid. Yet common assumptions and misconceptions still get in the way.
Without clarity on questions like these, procurement decisions become harder to compare, justify, and defend internally, and opportunities go unnoticed. Our Five Myths document tests the most common assumptions against how the biomethane market works, so you understand the risks and opportunities before you start evaluating suppliers.
