Immense Untapped Global Biomethane Potential (According to the Latest from the International Energy Agency)
Last week the International Energy Agency (IEA) released an incredible new report: Outlook for Biogas and Biomethane – A global geospatial assessment. Before diving into the findings of this landmark assessment, a little more on the IEA for those who are not familiar with the organization.
The IEA is based in Paris, France and plays an important role on the world stage as its member and association countries represent up to 75% of total global GDP.
Ivys Adsorption and NetXeroC Pvt Ltd Announce Strategic Partnership to Advance Biogas Upgrading across India’s Wastewater Sector
A new partnership between NetXeroC Pvt Ltd and Ivys Adsorption Inc. is set to disrupt India’s wastewater sector into highly profitable enterprises with enhanced valorization of industrial waste via circular models, propelled by India’s burgeoning BioCNG market.
N.J. Anaerobic Digester Plant Transforms Food Waste into Renewable Natural Gas
It’s no secret that New York City, like many densely populated urban areas throughout history, has a trash and rodent problem. Mountains of bloated trash bags —many containing food waste that attract rats burrowing and gnawing through them—are a blight on sidewalks all over the city.
The problem is more than an aesthetic or public health issue. Significant quantities of food, as well as cooking greases, fats and oils, are thrown out rather than consumed. According to ReFED, a U.S.-based non-profit that tracks food waste across the U.S., decomposition of organic trash on streets or in landfills releases methane into the atmosphere, a major contributor to climate change.
Greenlane Announces Over $2 Million in Orders for Biogas Desulfurization Equipment
Greenlane Renewables Inc. ("Greenlane" or the "Company") (TSX: GRN) (FSE: 52G), a leading global provider of biogas desulfurization and upgrading systems, today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Airdep S.r.l. has received new purchase orders totalling over $2 million (€1.3M). The purchases were made by a repeat customer for the supply of multiple units of proprietary biogas desulfurization equipment to support the production of renewable natural gas ("RNG"). Order fulfillment is expected to commence immediately.
"Our aim at Greenlane is to make RNG projects more accessible and scalable by solving the industry's most challenging technology problems, one of which is biogas desulfurization," said Brad Douville, CEO of Greenlane. "All biogas projects require hydrogen sulfide ("H2S") removal and our biogas desulfurization product line has set the standard in Italy and is increasingly being adopted in global markets. According to the International Energy Agency, Italy is the fastest growing biomethane market in Europe. Our biogas desulfurization product line delivers a proven and reliable regenerative solution where the goal is high H2S removal performance at low cost."
Ameresco Generates over $70 Million in Cash Proceeds from Sale of RNG-Related Investment Tax Credits
Ameresco, Inc., (NYSE:AMRC), a leading energy solutions provider dedicated to helping customers navigate the energy transition today announced the successful sale of approximately $71 million in Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) generated from three of its landfill-gas-to-renewable natural gas (RNG) projects. These projects, which Ameresco developed, constructed, financed, and currently operates, were placed in service in 2024.
This transaction marks Ameresco's third ITC sale to a corporate buyer and its first sale of RNG tax credits under the transferability rules, demonstrating the company's ability to capitalize on clean energy incentives and project financing through multiple means and a diversified pool of lenders and investors.
Qube Technologies Expands Partnership with Roeslein Renewables to Monitor Biogas Operations Across Multiple States
Qube Technologies today announced an expanded partnership with Roeslein Renewables to monitor methane emissions across their biogas operations. Building on the success of a pilot program monitoring 18 lagoons, Roeslein will deploy additional Qube devices across 100 lagoons in Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and North Carolina, encompassing their entire operational footprint.
The decision to scale the partnership follows the demonstration of significant operational improvements during the initial deployment phase. Qube's continuous monitoring solution enables Roeslein to efficiently identify and address methane leaks across their covered lagoon digesters, replacing traditional manual inspection methods that were both labor-intensive and less reliable.
Tax Credit Repeal Threatens 60,000 Jobs in Blue Hydrogen: Report
The U.S. has 9.8 million metric tons of annual blue hydrogen production capacity in development — enough to power more than 18 million homes and employ 62,200 people, according to a report by the Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions Forum, a right-leaning advocacy energy group in Washington D.C.
Much of this capacity was prompted by the creation of the 45V tax credit for low-carbon hydrogen production, according to Heather Reams, president of the CRES Forum. Blue hydrogen is derived from natural gas.
ReFuels Opens Bio-CNG Station in Scotland
In Scotland, ReFuels N.V has opened a new refuelling station at Livingston in West Lothian, Scotland. The public-access Bio-CNG station operated under the CNG Fuels brand will enable low-emission transport across large parts of Scotland.
The Livingston station can refuel 14 trucks simultaneously, when at full utilisation, enabling more than 600 trucks to be refuelled per day with a total capacity of 20 million kilograms (kg) of Bio-CNG annually.
Anaergia Signs First Capwatt Contract
Anaergia Inc. has entered a contract with Capwatt Biomethane Unipessoal Lda (Capwatt) to design and construct Metanext, a biogas plant in central Italy. Expected to begin operation in June 2026, Metanext will produce 7.6 million cubic meters of high-quality biomethane annually from agro-industry waste.
British Columbia Low Carbon Fuels Standards 2030 Outlook
In 2008, British Columbia enacted the Greenhouse Gas Reduction (Renewable and Low Carbon Fuel Requirements) Act to establish renewable content and GHG reduction targets for transportation fuels. Building on this, the BC Low Carbon Fuel Standard (BC-LCFS) introduces progressively stricter carbon intensity reduction targets, supporting the transition to cleaner fuels and increased adoption of zero-emission vehicles through compliance obligations, credit systems, and ongoing market oversight. This analyst note highlights cCarbon’s CarbonOutlook Model for the BC LCFS market, provides an overview of the program, examines biofuel and EV trends, and presents a demand-supply outlook through 2030.
