Biomethane is regarded as one of the key building blocks of a climate-neutral energy system – particularly in areas where electrification reaches its limits. biogeen GmbH develops, plans, and operates biomethane and biogas plants and supports projects along the entire value chain – from feedstock processing to injection into the gas grid. As CEO, Jörg Selbach-Röntgen is responsible for the company
In 2025, 98.5 percent of LNG sales at German filling stations consisted of Bio-LNG. Despite available technology and existing infrastructure, insufficient political and regulatory frameworks are slowing further market ramp-up of renewable fuels. Kehler: “Bio-LNG shows that we do not have to wait for tomorrow’s solutions to reduce emissions in the transport sector. Reliable framework conditions wo
At a special session of the Committee for Economic Affairs and Energy, Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Katherina Reiche will address Members of the Bundestag tomorrow regarding the current supply situation. The focus will be on the historically low fill levels of Germany’s gas storage facilities. Dr. Timm Kehler, Chairman of the association Die Gas- und Wasserstoffwirtschaft, comments:
“B
GASCADE Gastransport GmbH has begun planning for a roughly 15-kilometer-long hydrogen pipeline from Lampertheim in Baden-Württemberg to Ludwigshafen am Rhein. This section of the pipeline is part of the HYLU (Hydrogen Ludwigshafen) project, which will transport hydrogen to the Ludwigshafen industrial region via sections of the converted MIDAL long-distance gas pipeline. As part of the core hydroge
In a joint manifesto, an alliance of six European electrolyser manufacturers warns of insufficient support for domestic production capacities in the hydrogen scale-up. Without stronger demand-side incentives, clearer regulatory frameworks, and targeted industrial policy measures, Europe’s expansion targets risk falling behind, the paper states.
The signatories include Germany-based Sunfir
ETW Energietechnik has, according to its own information, received a contract from the Berliner Stadtreinigungsbetriebe (BSR) for the construction of a biomethane upgrading facility. The plant, developed jointly with the engineering firm Rytec GmbH, is intended to upgrade landfill gas to biomethane in the future, thereby unlocking energy potentials that have so far remained unused.
The facility
A legal opinion published in January concludes that while the current approach to transposing the EU Gas Directive (EU Gas Directive) into German law meets European requirements, several aspects require improvement. The study was commissioned, among others, by BIOGEEN, a member of the Biomethane Task Force, thus ensuring that industry perspectives were specifically incorporated into the assessment
Researchers at the University of Stuttgart have developed a novel process for upgrading raw biogas to methane and successfully tested it under real-world conditions. The project was funded by the Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe (FNR) (Agency for Renewable Resources). The aim is to convert biogas into high-quality biomethane more efficiently and thereby unlock additional potential for grid inje
During a cabinet visit to the Bavarian State Government in Munich, Federal Transport Minister Patrick Schnieder presented funding awards totaling €54 million to representatives of the Pfeffenhausen site. A hydrogen technology application center (WTAZ) is to be established there, designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and startups accelerate the development of technological inno
Gas Displaces Coal and Heating Oil: The share of gas in primary energy consumption is growing. Indispensable for Power and Heat: Natural gas safeguards electricity supply during periods of low wind and solar output, shapes the heating market, and makes a significant contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions and costs. Kehler: “Gas is system-relevant—today for security of supply and competitiveness,
The cross-border hydrogen project "H2 cross border" significantly increased its transported hydrogen volumes by January 2026. The transported volume, at 630 MWh, has almost sextupled compared to September 2024, according to the project operator, RAG Austria. At the same time, it is clear that market ramp-up continues to be hampered by regulatory requirements. A request from the partners for the im
ACWA Power, a Saudi power plant developer and hydrogen specialist, has signed a letter of intent to establish a green ammonia supply chain with German partners. The signing took place during German Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy Katherina Reiche's visit to Saudi Arabia at the end of January.
The project partners aim to establish a green ammonia corridor from the ACWA project i
