Biomethane, is it just a load of crap?

Biomethane, is it just a load of crap?

Well... yes!

Biomethane is literally made from organic waste. Food scraps, crop residues, animal muck, sewage sludge. Stuff nobody wants, turned into something valuable. It’s processed through anaerobic digestion, upgraded into a clean-burning gas, and injected straight into the UK’s gas grid.

It’s renewable, reliable and already helping businesses lower their emissions without changing how they operate.

what makes it different from fossil gas?

Fossil gas comes from drilling. Biomethane comes from waste. That means when you burn biomethane, the carbon released was already part of the natural cycle. It’s not adding new emissions, it’s just reusing what was already out there.

Switching to biomethane means cutting Scope 1 emissions without replacing your entire heating system. No need to rip out boilers or rebuild pipework. It’s a straight swap, tracked and certified.

why it’s catching on?

Fully interchangeable with natural gas in commercial systems

Comes with Green Gas Certificates to prove your carbon savings

Can be used for heating, cooking or industrial processes

Reduces reliance on volatile fossil fuel markets

Helps meet Net Zero, ESG and SECR targets without infrastructure change

how businesses are using it?

A client through our partners in the hospitality sector switched to a 100 percent biomethane-backed supply. Same setup, same performance, but now their energy use aligns with their sustainability goals. It also helped them win a major corporate contract that required verified carbon reduction.

you don’t need to go off-grid to go green

You can still be connected to the mains gas network and choose biomethane. You’ll get a regular supply from your existing infrastructure, backed by a certificate trail showing your share of green gas injected into the grid.

No disruption. No system change. Just lower emissions and a tick in every ESG box that matters.

so is it just a load of crap?

Yes. And that’s the point. It’s turning waste into clean energy that works for real businesses, right now.

If you want to show progress on your sustainability targets without tearing up your heating system, we can help you switch to biomethane supply and back it up with full reporting.
