Generate new income, improve sustainability and explore biomethane opportunities on your farm.
Biomethane can give farmers the opportunity to generate new income, make better use of farm resources and support a lower-carbon future. Produced through anaerobic digestion (AD), biomethane turns organic materials such as crops, slurry and manure into renewable gas that can be injected directly into the existing gas network.
Biomethane projects can provide long-term, reliable revenue through land leases, feedstock supply agreements or participation in an anaerobic digestion scheme.
Every site is different, but some of the key factors that can support a successful biomethane project include:
There are no hard rules on these criteria, and different operating models such as tankering gas to a remote injection point, allows for further flexibility.
As a regulated gas distribution network, we do not develop biomethane plants directly but if you're exploring biomethane opportunities, we can provide a free initial assessment to help you understand your proximity to the gas network and available network capacity.
We can also connect you with experienced biomethane developers and help you take the next steps.
