Home/Biomethane & bio-LNG

Biomethane

Renewable natural gas, delivered through the grid, as bio-LNG or as bio-CNG — for heavy transport, marine and any industry already burning natural gas.

Gas that never came out of the ground

Put farm slurry, food waste, wastewater sludge or crop residues into a sealed tank without oxygen and bacteria break them down, releasing biogas — roughly 60% methane, 40% carbon dioxide. Strip out the CO₂ and what remains is more than 97% methane: the same molecule as the natural gas already in your pipe.

That is the whole trick. There is no new technology on your side of the meter, no conversion project and no downtime. The gas burns identically because it is identical — it was simply grown above ground in the last twelve months rather than buried for a hundred million years.

Three ways to take it

Grid, liquefied or compressed

The right route depends on whether you are connected to the network and what you are fuelling.

Through the grid

The simplest option and the one most customers take. Biomethane is injected into the national network by the producing plant; you keep buying gas exactly as you do now, and we transfer Guarantees of Origin matching your consumption into your account. Nothing on your site changes — not a valve, not a burner, not a meter.

As bio-LNG

Liquefied at −162 °C and delivered by ADR-certified cryogenic tanker to your plant or filling station. This is the route for heavy trucking, for shipping, and for industrial sites that sit beyond the end of the gas network.

As bio-CNG

Compressed and delivered to a fleet filling point. Best suited to urban logistics, buses and delivery vans running fixed daily routes back to a single depot.

Carbon

The only fuel we sell that can score below zero

Most renewable fuels reduce emissions. Manure-based biomethane can go further than that.

Slurry left in an open lagoon breaks down anyway and releases methane straight into the atmosphere — and methane traps far more heat than CO₂ over its first two decades. Capturing that slurry in a sealed digester prevents an emission that would otherwise have happened, and under RED III methodology that avoided emission is credited to the fuel. The result is a certified carbon intensity that can come out negative.

  • Typical saving against fossil natural gas: around 80–85% for waste and residue feedstocks
  • Manure-based routes can certify a negative carbon intensity thanks to the avoided methane credit
  • Every figure is calculated per batch and stated on the documentation, not estimated in a brochure

Documentation

What arrives with the gas

Physically the molecules mix in the network. Contractually and legally, this is what makes the gas yours.

  • Guarantees of Origin issued in the national registry and transferred to your account
  • Proof of Sustainability under ISCC EU, with feedstock type and Annex IX classification
  • Certified GHG intensity in gCO₂e/MJ against the RED III fossil comparator
  • Cross-border transfer handled through the recognised European registry framework
  • EN 16723-1 and -2 quality conformity for grid injection and vehicle fuel
  • Cancellation statements in the format your auditor and CSRD reporting need

Common questions

If it all mixes in the pipe, am I really getting biomethane?
You are getting the same thing you get when you buy renewable electricity. The molecules mix, but the accounting does not: for every unit you buy, a Guarantee of Origin is issued once, transferred to you, and cancelled against your consumption so nobody else can claim it. That is the mechanism EU law recognises, and it is what your auditor will check.
Do I have to change anything at my site?
For grid-delivered biomethane, nothing at all — same pipe, same meter, same burners. For bio-LNG or bio-CNG you need the corresponding storage or filling equipment, which we can help you scope.
Can I start with part of my consumption?
Yes, and most customers do. Contract 10% or 20% of annual volume as biomethane, report the reduction, then scale as budget allows. There is no technical reason to switch everything at once.
