Northern Ireland’s biomethane opportunity: nearly half of gas demand — and 3.6 TWh of project interest

The Green Gas Taskforce says Northern Ireland could produce 8 TWh of biomethane a year — 46% of gas demand — with 3.6 TWh of projects already in the pipeline. Funding is agreed in principle; an operational scheme is not expected before 2027/28.

Spain’s biomethane quota: a legal mandate, but not yet a complete compliance market

Spain has legislated a non-transport biomethane obligation, but the 0.5%–6% pathway to 2035 is still a draft. Certificate eligibility, penalties and grid access will decide whether it becomes bankable demand.

Netherlands’ green-gas obligation: the proposed market, pending amendments and investment implications

Bill 36.947 would oblige gas suppliers to surrender certificates for 2.85 MtCO₂e of lifecycle savings a year from 2031. Parliament’s amendments could delay the start, cap the buy-out and narrow who pays.

Czechia’s biomethane CfD: demand proven, delivery still to be tested

Czechia’s first 15-year, pay-as-bid biomethane auction drew compliant bids for 3.4× the 45 million Nm³/year on offer. Demand is proven; near-cap pricing, strict monthly penalties and 2028–29 delivery are the next tests.
