Are you a producer of biomethane or an investor in the capital of a biomethane production company?
Ever since biomethane can be injected into natural gas transport or distribution networks, you have several outlets and strategies that need to be evaluated.
What are the economic outlets for biomethane?
Under the current regulations, biomethane can be:
- used as biofuel:
- in an electricity production plant;
- in a heat production boiler;
- in a cogeneration plant for electricity and heat;
- used as biofuel;
- injected into natural gas distribution or transport networks.
How to identify the best valorization strategy?
Each outlet has its own specificities, in terms of regulatory framework (authorizations to be obtained, steps to be taken), counterparts, duration and nature (private, administrative) of contracts, physico-chemical characteristics of biomethane, etc.
Of course, a very different economic logic (impact of the production mode for a cogeneration plant, cost of purchasing the heat injected into a heating network for a boiler, price for using natural gas networks, etc.) needs to be clarified, assimilated and compared.
Finally, the best strategy can be a combination of two outlets, main and auxiliary.
