The following pages contain valuable information about the injection of biogas into the natural gas grid. This information has been collected and assembled by the German Energy Agency (dena) in context with its “Biogas Partnership,” initiative and is updated on a regular basis. With our newsletter we present information about the latest biogas-related developments. We welcome your feedback regarding the website and our newsletter.

Market Report on Biomethane: Technologies and Costs of Conditioning Biogas and Feed-in into the Natural Gas Network
For the first time available in English, the “Special Edition: Market Report on Biomethane” is a two-part report providing the key facts on the development of the market for the upgrade and feeding of biogas into the German natural gas network. It combines dena’s in-depth market knowledge with the expertise of the renowned Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT in a comparison of relevant biogas upgrade technologies.

Gas produced from biomass can and should play an important role in the future energy supply of Germany and Europe (potential
). The feeding of upgraded biogas (also called “biomethane”) into the natural gas grid offers an energy solution that is both efficient and flexible, allowing the use of energy from biogas in areas located far away from where the energy is generated. German policies support biogas feed-in with a wide array of instruments. New collaborations are improving the biogas industry all along the value chain. The first biomethane projects have been feeding into the German natural gas grid since the end of 2006. Additional projects are in the planning and development stages.
