Biomethane as a Natural Gas Replacement: How Close Are We?
For decades, natural gas has been the backbone of heating, industrial energy, and electricity generation across the UK and Europe. But a quiet revolution has been gathering pace in farm buildings, food factories, and wastewater treatment works — one that produces a gas molecularly identical to the fossil fuel it aims to replace. Biomethane, the […]
Biogas and Biomethane in France: Market Growth, Policy and 2030 Outlook
Biogas and biomethane production in France has moved from an emerging renewable-energy opportunity to a substantial national industry. France now operates one of Europe’s largest fleets of biomethane-to-grid plants, supported by agricultural feedstocks, municipal and industrial organic wastes, established gas infrastructure and government-backed market mechanisms. When we last reviewed the French market in 2022, we […]
Biomethane Price vs Natural Gas UK – 2026 Update
In February 2022, we published an article based on European Biogas Association data showing that biomethane had become cheaper than natural gas by as much as 30% — a striking claim at a time when the Russian invasion of Ukraine had sent UK wholesale gas prices spiralling to historic highs. Four years on, the energy […]
Biomethane Price Now Lower than Natural Gas by 30% (EBA February 2022)
For the first time, the biomethane price is now lower than natural gas by as much as 30%. That’s the news from the European Biogas Association (EBA). In this article, we explain how renewable pure biogas methane known as rCNG (and RNG) has become substantially cheaper than Natural Gas (a fuel extracted from geological deposits) […]

Explore the best alternatives to LPG gas for cooking, such as biogas, biomethane, and electric induction. With global LPG prices rising, discover how tailored energy solutions can transform your kitchen into an eco-friendly space that fits your budget and lifestyle…
Bennamann Biomethane Upgrading: A New Future for UK Farm Biogas Without Gas-to-Grid?
Could medium-sized farms and existing anaerobic digestion plants soon turn raw biogas into useful, fuel-grade biomethane without needing a full gas-to-grid project? That is the inspiring prospect raised by Bennamann’s biomethane upgrading and Bio-CNG refuelling technology. For many years, the UK farm biogas sector has been shaped by subsidy regimes, electricity generation, CHP engines, heat […]
Biomethane Price Trends, Analysis & Forecast
Biomethane production costs vary from USD 10/GJ to USD 30/GJ, driven by regional dynamics, with Europe leading at 61.34% market share. The market is set to grow from USD 6.95 billion in 2025 to USD 10.74 billion by 2034, impacted by natural gas price volatility and regulatory frameworks…

Transitioning away from finite fossil fuels is essential as we aim for net-zero targets, with options from Inspire Clean Energy to assist…
How to Eliminate CO2 from Biogas? “Scrubbing” Explained
Here we explain how to Eliminate CO2 from Biogas, (or CO2 Scrubbing). Biogas can be upgraded to pipeline natural gas quality (biomethane) for use as a renewable natural gas, but as part of the upgrading process, it will be necessary to remove the carbon dioxide (CO2) from the biogas. This upgraded gas may also be […]
Biogas Cylinder Filling Machines & Compressor Guide
Biogas cylinder filling machines transform biogas into a usable form, aiding in energy storage and reducing fossil fuel reliance. These machines capture and compress biogas, lowering methane emissions and supporting local economies. Discover the role they play in fostering sustainable, green energy solutions…
How UK Biomethane Could Cut Gas Prices and Boost Energy Security in 2026
The UK biomethane sector is sitting on one of the fastest deployable energy security solutions available today. So, we ask about the UK’s biomethane production: Can It Replace Imported Gas? Unlike new nuclear or offshore wind, anaerobic digestion (AD) infrastructure already exists across the country — and much of it has untapped capacity. With the […]
Scotland’s Green Gas Moment: How the May Elections Could Transform Farming Energy Forever
Scotland is developing its green gas sector, aiming for net-zero by 2045 through anaerobic digestion (AD) for biogas and pioneering green hydrogen projects. Now is the moment to go faster and simultaneously help their struggling small farms. Every five years, Scotland gets a new government. And every new government needs a plan. The six-week window […]
