A recent report by ENTSOG, the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas, confirms what producers have been feeling on the ground: renewable gas volumes entering European grids keep climbing.
During the 2024–2025 gas year — October 2024 to September 2025 — a total of 43.2 TWh of renewable gas, composed almost entirely of biomethane, was injected into transmission and distribution grids across 18 EU Member States. That is a 12% increase on the previous gas year.
“France, Germany, Denmark, Italy and the Netherlands together account for over 90% of injected volumes.” ENTSOG, 2025
Two forces behind the growth
The rise reflects both the start-up of new biomethane plants and the gradual ramp-up of existing facilities reaching their higher nominal capacities. Neither happens overnight, which is why year-on-year growth has stayed steady rather than spiking.
- New plants coming online, particularly in France and Denmark
- Existing facilities reaching nominal capacity after commissioning
- Belgium and the Czech Republic doubling — in places quadrupling — their injections
Why the existing grid matters
The report underlines the advantage of leveraging infrastructure that is already in place. Integrating biomethane and other renewable gases into the existing natural gas network lets industries and households decarbonise their energy use without costly network modifications or major infrastructure investment.
For buyers, the practical takeaway is about geography. Volume concentration means sourcing decisions, mass-balance routes and certificate availability all depend on which market you are contracting in.
