Poland has hundreds of biogas plants, but biomethane injection into the grid is only just starting. We organise the data (KOWR, PSG), calculate the scale of the potential and point out the barriers and factors that will decide the pace of development.
In the 2026 State of the Union address the Commission President named biomethane, alongside renewable and nuclear energy, as a domestic, affordable source of energy; imported fossil fuels have cost Europe an additional EUR 90 billion since the start of the conflict.
The first Czech operating support auction for biomethane (45 million m³ per year, held in May) drew huge interest: 63 projects submitted 176.4 million m³ of annual production. Competition lowered the reference prices.
An editorial, alphabetical overview of OGI camera manufacturers, companies selling this equipment in Poland and LDAR/OGI service providers — with website addresses and the date of checking. No rankings or recommendations.
PKO BP, BGK and mBank will finance Galia Green Power with PLN 376 million (with the option of an increase by PLN 225 million) for acquiring biogas plants and building biomethane plants; the target is 25 biomethane installations by 2032.
Agricultural biogas is usually 50–65% CH₄, the rest mainly CO₂. Where fluctuations over the day and the season come from, how the substrate affects composition, and how to measure gas flow and composition correctly.
In August 2026 CERC proposed generic tariffs for 2026–27: biogas 11.17 Rs/kWh (against 10.88 in 2025–26), biomass from about 9.60 to over 11.60, bagasse from about 7.50 to about 9.40 Rs/kWh.
China's first Ecological and Environmental Code, adopted on 12 March 2026, entered into force on 15 August 2026. It replaced ten laws, including the one on solid waste; other laws, such as on energy conservation, remain in force.
From 1 October 2025 a deposit of 50 gr is paid for PET bottles up to 3 l and cans up to 1 l, and PLN 1 for reusable glass bottles up to 1.5 l. We explain the rules, shop obligations and the 2026 changes.
Should a biogas plant produce hydrogen? We assess five scenarios: electrolysis from CHP electricity, biomethane reforming, hydrogen-assisted digestion, hydrogen for farm machinery and supply to industry.
BZK Energy has commissioned Tesgas to build a 20 km medium-pressure pipeline to the Ambassador biomethane plant; it is to connect the installation to the GAZ-SYSTEM transmission grid by the end of November 2027. Planned production: more than 5 million m³ of biomethane and about 4 million m³ of CO₂ per year (gas volume).
An overview of OGI solution categories: cooled and uncooled cameras, fixed, drone-mounted, quantitative (QOGI), software and Ex versions — and the parameters that actually differentiate the devices.
On 6 August 2026 India's cabinet approved the GOBARdhan programme for 2026/27–2035/36: 23,731 crore rupees, an administered price of 2,110 rupees per MMBtu and subsidies for building CBG plants.
EEG tenders now award biogas plants about 18 ct/kWh on average. We describe the mechanism, successive auction results, the flexibility premium and a comparison with market prices.
Step by step: from the mass of substrates and their VS to methane production, energy in the fuel, and net electricity and heat. Explicit assumptions, tables and a sanity check of the result.
Biomethane injected into the grid must meet the quality parameters set out in the regulation on the functioning of the gas system, including hydrogen sulphide, oxygen, CO₂ and the Wobbe index. We explain the limits and the monitoring.
Czech biogas plants generate about 2,500 GWh of electricity a year. Support, based on guaranteed prices and green bonuses, expires for all installations by 2033.
What OGI is, how a camera that "sees" methane works, when it fails, what leaks cost and which regulations (EU 2024/1787, EN 17628, EPA) apply to biogas plants, biomethane plants and landfills.
Series summary: RDN with 2× and 3× operation (PLN 619.5 and 670.7/MWh) still below FIT of PLN 828.4/MWh, FIP + flexibility above it. H1 2026.
On 9 July 2026 the State Council published an action plan for the emissions peak for the period of the 15th Five-Year Plan: CO₂ intensity 17% lower than in 2025 and 25% of energy from non-fossil sources.
Agriculture emits methane and N₂O, and a biogas plant can reduce part of the emissions from manure. We show what a biogas plant does for the climate, what it does not do, and how to calculate the effect for a farm.
The top-up to the price of electricity from biogas in Slovakia lasts 15 years. The 2026 purchase price is, according to SBA, EUR 194–208/MWh, but the fuel cost correction in 2026 is negative (−EUR 21.29/MWh).
The EBA and GIE published the European Biomethane Map: installed capacity of 8.2 billion m³ per year (up by more than 1 billion m³, 17%), 1,975 installations and investment commitments up to EUR 36 billion.
The substrate market in Poland is shaped by competition for silage, a growing supply of biowaste and the development of biomethane. The KOWR register shows about 209 agricultural biogas plants in May 2026.
