FuelEU Maritime is in force. Bio-LNG is the shortest path to compliance
Since January 2025, vessels above 5,000 GRT have had to cut the GHG intensity of the energy they use. The regulation cares about the…
Biomethane market
Switzerland runs on its own rules — and imports most of its renewable gas
Swiss demand is well above Swiss production, so most of the gas arrives from the EU. Whether its certificate arrives with it is another…
German heating law: 2029 arrives faster than boilers get replaced
The GEG requires 15% renewable gas from 2029, rising to 60% by 2040. Biomethane is the one answer that changes nothing in the building.

A GoO is not a delivery note, and it is not a sustainability certificate. Confusing the two is the most expensive mistake in this…

Danish biomethane growth grinds to a halt
Denmark’s biomethane industry has experienced a rapid growth, expanding from 2.96 TWh in 2019 to over 8.1 TWh injected into the Danish gas system…
