Commonly referred to as renewable natural gas, biomethane serves as an eco-friendly and chemically identical alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based natural gas. It results from the refinement and purification of biogas, which is generated through the anaerobic digestion or gasification of organic matter, including agricultural residue, municipal solid waste, plant material, and sewage.
Biomethane seamlessly integrates into the existing natural gas infrastructure, offering a direct substitute for fossil-based natural gas across various applications such as industrial heat, domestic and commercial heating and cooking, and electricity generation. The transition to biomethane provides additional environmental benefits as it also captures methane, a potent greenhouse gas, which would otherwise be released into the atmosphere from organic waste streams as fugitive emissions.
Optimal Renewable Gas is targeting the delivery of over 10 biomethane plants by 2030. Learn more about Optimal Renewable Gas.
