The European Union currently produces 21 billion cubic metres (bcm) of biomethane and it aims at increasing it to 35 bcm by 2030* to become more independent in terms of energy and achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Within the bloc, Italy is anticipated to take a leading role, with its biomethane production projected to rise to 6 bcm. The Italian Biogas Consortium further estimates that production could reach 8 bcm.

Against this backdrop, BTS DevCo and Eiffel have decided to invest in biomethane production plants in Italy and Europe through Green One. This platform gathers the expertise of BTS Biogas, technological leader in the biogas and biomethane sector, and benefits from the support of Eiffel Investment Group, through its specialized funds, amongst which Eiffel Gaz Vert, its biogas focused fund.

Green One has the objective to create a significant portfolio of CHP plants to be revamped into biomethane projects in Italy. Four projects have already been incorporated on the platform, with production starting by the end of 2024. Two are located in Lombardy Region and are to be found in Lodi and Milzano (province of Brescia). Another one is located in Sant’Agata Bolognese, a small town in Emilia Romagna, while the fourth one is in Gazzo Veronese in Veneto Region. Leveraging on its robust pipeline, Green One aims to integrate 15 plants and invest €150m by 2026.

In the existing portfolio, the four plants will produce overall around 1200 cubic meters of biomethane per hour, equivalent to approximately 10 million cubic meters per year, which is enough to meet the energy consumption of around 45,000 households. The conversion to biomethane will result in an 80 per cent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, i.e. over 21.000 tons of CO2, equivalent to an average of 700.000 trees.

The projects demonstrate the benefits of circular economy. In addition to producing clean energy, the approximately 115.420 tons of livestock effluents and by-products used as feedstocks will generate 127.000 tons of fertilizer in the form of separated liquid and solid digestate.
