WHY CFP ENERGY

Why businesses choose CFP Energy

Regulation first

We start with what you’re required or committed to do, not with what we have to sell.

One partner, start to finish

Advice, sourcing, contracts and certificates in one place.

Specialists in each sector

Transport, heating, maritime and voluntary buyers each get a strategy built for their rules.

Pan-European sourcing

Access to certified supply across multiple national registries.

Flexible contracts

Spot to long-term, fixed or indexed, certificate-only or physical.

WHAT BIOMETHANE IS

The same gas, a much lower carbon footprint

Biomethane is renewable gas made from organic waste, such as farm residues, food waste and sewage sludge. Once it’s upgraded and injected into the grid, it’s chemically identical to natural gas.

Your boilers, engines, vessels and processes keep running exactly as they do today.

Every unit is traced through certificates such as Guarantees of Origin and Proofs of Sustainability. That means the emission reductions you report can be audited and defended.

THE CHALLENGE

The regulations are complicated. Your strategy doesn’t need to be.

  • RED III
  • FuelEU Maritime
  • EU ETS
  • National heating rules
  • Voluntary reporting
  • Transport sector

RED III, FuelEU Maritime, the EU ETS, national heating rules and voluntary reporting frameworks each set their own rules for what counts. Different certificates suit different markets.

If you buy the wrong product, it may not count towards your obligation at all. CFP Energy makes sure you buy the right one.

HOW WE WORK

Strategy, supply and certification from one partner

  1. 01

    Map your obligations

    We map the regulations and climate commitments that apply to you, and confirm which certificates and supply models will count towards them.

  2. 02

    Design your strategy

    We build a buying plan around your budget, timeline and risk appetite: spot or multi-year, fixed or indexed, certificates or physical supply.

  3. 03

    Source and deliver

    We source certified biomethane through our European network and handle the contracts, certificate transfers and registry administration.

  4. 04

    Stay compliant

    We track regulatory changes and adjust your strategy as they happen, so your position holds up as the requirements tighten.

BENEFITS

Why biomethane, and why now

  1. 01

    No new equipment

    A drop-in replacement for natural gas.

  2. 02

    Measurable reductions

    Certified, traceable volumes that hold up to audit.

  3. 03

    Lower ETS exposure

    Where it’s eligible, biomethane counts as zero-rated under the EU ETS.

  4. 04

    Protection from price swings

    Longer-term contracts can reduce your exposure to fossil gas and carbon prices.

  5. 05

    A head start

    Get ready for obligations that are already scheduled to tighten.

Biomethane FAQs

Biomethane is a renewable gas made by upgrading biogas from organic waste, such as farm residues, food waste and sewage sludge. It’s almost pure methane, so it’s chemically identical to natural gas. It can be injected into the existing gas grid and used in the same boilers, engines and industrial processes, with a much lower carbon footprint.

Biogas is the raw gas produced when organic waste breaks down without oxygen. It’s usually 50–65% methane, with the rest mostly CO₂. Biomethane is biogas that has been “upgraded” to remove the CO₂ and impurities. That brings it to grid quality, so it can replace natural gas directly.

Yes. Biomethane and renewable natural gas (RNG) mean the same thing. “RNG” is more common in North America, and “biomethane” or “green gas” is more common in Europe. All three describe upgraded biogas that can be used in place of fossil natural gas.

Most biomethane is produced by anaerobic digestion. Microorganisms break down organic material in sealed tanks and release biogas. The biogas is then upgraded by removing CO₂, water and other impurities. The result is grid-quality biomethane, which can be injected into the gas network or liquefied into bio-LNG.

Biomethane is low-carbon, but it isn’t automatically carbon neutral. When it burns, it releases CO₂ that the original organic material absorbed recently, rather than fossil carbon. Its full lifecycle emissions depend on the feedstock and the production process. Some waste-based biomethane, especially from manure, can have a negative carbon intensity because it stops methane escaping into the atmosphere.
