Biomethane

Biomethane is processed and purified biogas- with natural gas qualities. This way, bio-methane can be injected into the regular gas grid. It is easily stored and operable without any modification to infrastructure, just like natural gas.

We help buyers and users transition towards fossil-free alternatives and support the road to net zero strategies.

About Biomethane

Our services help producers of biogas to find the right buyers and users; we support the switch towards fossil-free alternatives. This provides the system benefits of natural gas (storage, flexibility, high-temperature heat) - without the net carbon emissions.
‍
Its use offers a highly competitive, low-cost, greener alternative in heating applications, electricity generation, and transport. Biogas production also has the added benefit of reducing waste and improving the management of organic materials.

Waste & Residues

Waste Residues include organic materials which are discarded if not otherwise put to use for biogas production. Examples include animal manure, organic municipal waste, and wastewater treatment sludge.

Biomethane

Biomethane is processed and purified biogas with natural gas quality. This can be injected into the regular gas grid. It is produced when bacteria digest organic matter (biomass) in the absence of oxygen. Two main categories of organic substances can be distinguished: Energy Crops and Waste & Residue.

Energy Crop

Energy Crops include crops specifically designed for the anaerobic digestion process to create biomethane. Examples include maize, wheat, and sugar beet.

Biomethane can help reduce your Scope 1 emissions.

Biotickets

Many countries have adopted a market mechanism to promote and encourage biofuel use in the transport sector. These systems set obligations for every fossil fuel delivery to the transportation sector. Those that make use of various kinds of biofuels (biodiesel, ethanol, green gas, and electricity) can claim biofuel certificates. These tickets are tradeable and used by counterparties with an obligation to meet their targets.

Feedstocks

Feedstocks for biofuels involve the raw materials used as primary components in the production process. Biomass is mostly used for the production of gaseous fuels, such as bio CNG and bio LNG. Popular feedstocks for liquid biofuels include used cooking oils (which can be processed into UCOME), and palm oil mill effluent (which can be processed into POMEME), both of which are classified as second-generation biofuels.

AFS Energy maintains a wide network of clients representative of all parts of the value chain. Our expertise is the foundation for our tailor-made support in sourcing and selling all types of feedstock - making us the partner for achieving optimal market success.

Biofuels

Biofuels serve as a renewable alternative to fossil fuels in the EU, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving the EU's security of supply. Member states have a national obligation to blend biofuel into the energy mix for road transport.

In various European countries, the use of biofuel is ensured by varying incentives and schemes. Those that make use of various kinds of biofuels (biodiesel, ethanol, green gas and electricity) can claim biofuel certificates that can be traded on the open market

Technologies

Technological advancements have enabled renewable fuel alternatives to replace fossil fuels in the transport sector. Many countries have now adopted a market mechanism to promote and encourage their use. These systems set obligations for the delivery of biofuels to the transportation sector.
