Biomethane to decarbonise and develop the territories, through decentralised production, use of local materials and gas infrastructure, and synergies with hydrogen.

Biomethane in a few words
Biomethane is a renewable gas with high added value, produced from various kinds of organic waste.
It has the same characteristics as natural gas, and can easily be injected into existing gas grids.
Biomethane to decarbonise and develop the territories
With its potential and positive spin-offs, biomethane leads the way forward into the energy transition and energy independence.
The continued development of this industry is therefore a key driver in reducing CO2 emission, recycling waste and developing the territories economically.
The biomethane market
Under development since 2011, the biomethane market is particularly dynamic in France.
Driven by the potential supply of raw materials, technological advances and regulatory changes, it should continue its dramatic rise to meet the targets of energy transition.
Teréga at the heart of the biomethane rollout strategy
The development and financing of new production units, their connection to the grids, the transport and storage of biomethane… These are all crucial elements in the potential rollout of the industry.
Teréga is contributing to its acceleration in its territory through a number of projects aimed at facilitating and maximising the injection of biomethane production into grids.
Teréga develops biomethane / CO2 / H2 synergies
With the CO2 co-produced during methanisation, and renewable and low-carbon hydrogen, it is now possible to develop ways for biomethane CO2 and H2 to complement one another.
Teréga is a stakeholder in collaborative projects to develop new pathways for the local utilisation of biogenic CO2.
Teréga innovates to encourage the integration of biomethane into infrastructures
Deploying biomethane and synthetic methane implies guaranteeing the safety and integrity of pipelines, equipment and storage facilities.
With its expertise and R&I, Teréga is actively involved in that objective through a number of studies aimed at measuring the impact of those renewable gases on its infrastructures.
