Webinar: Trading biomethane across Europe
2024-09-05 11:00 - 12:00 UTC | Online
In countries like Spain and Italy, biomethane producers generate more biomethane than they can sell domestically. On the other hand, nations such as Austria, Germany, and Switzerland are unable to meet their biomethane demand through domestic production alone.
This imbalance creates a significant opportunity for biomethane producers: biomethane trading. By selling biomethane to countries with higher demand, producers can tap into new revenue streams. Furthermore, some countries have consumers willing to pay a premium for biomethane, making cross-border sales even more attractive and lucrative. This price variation is a key incentive for expanding your market reach beyond national borders.
However, despite its potential, biomethane trading faces several challenges. Regulatory differences between countries, logistical complexities, and fluctuating market prices can hinder smooth transactions.
Join our webinar and discover how to overcome the challenges of selling biomethane within Europe and learn how to capitalize on the lucrative European market. Our experts will guide you through:

How Biomethane Purchase Agreements work for long-term buying and selling of biomethane, and how they differ from Power Purchase Agreements

The regulatory requirements for trading between countries, including Guarantees of Origin and Proof of Sustainability

How producers who have acquired biomethane project portfolios are managing and operating them
Learn more the impending Union Database for biofuels and bioliquids, and the changes it will bring to your European biomethane business

Fill in the form to secure your place at this webinar and learn more about buying and selling biomethane within Europe.
