Biomethane for business
in Ireland, and the UK
Biomethane, a renewable form of gas, is generated from the breaking down of organic matter such as food waste, animal slurry and energy crops through a process called anaerobic digestion. The fuel has significant potential to transform business and transport over the coming years. It allows companies transition from natural gas to renewable gas while reducing their CO2 emissions.
Transition from natural gas to renewable gas while reducing your CO2 emissions
What is biomethane?
Renewable gas is a direct replacement for natural gas, used seamlessly in the same heating systems and appliances.

We’re leading the way in shipping renewable gas in Ireland.
Flogas Enterprise continues to lead the way as the first shipper of renewable gas into the Irish gas grid in 2021 for Customers. The injection of renewable gas into the Irish gas grid for the first time represented a milestone towards the decarbonisation of energy in Ireland.

Biomethane for transport
Biomethane can be purified further and compressed to be used as a renewable fuel for transportation known as bio-CNG (bio Compressed Natural Gas).
It can be used in similar way to traditional CNG made from fossil fuels. It can be used in compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles or compressed biogas (CBG) vehicles.
Bio-CNG can help reduce greenhouse gas emission and improve air quality it is a domestically produced fuel and can cut our reliance on imported fossil fuels.
Flogas Enterprise is opening Irelands first bio-CNG station in Dublin later this year. Watch this space!

<p class=”p1″>“Ballygowan, Ireland’s iconic water brand, has a long history of harnessing the best of Ireland’s natural resources to deliver sustainable, locally produced, Irish natural mineral water. This new Corporate Power Purchase Agreement with Flogas Enterprise, valued at €2.5 million, will produce renewable electricity for our production facility in Newcastle West and is a significant investment in our long-term strategy to ensure 100% sustainability across Britvic Ireland’s business operations.”</p>
<p class=”p1″>“Our mission is to become carbon neutral by 2030 and this is an important step in cutting our carbon emissions. It will enable our business to become more sustainable and provide us with a long-term solution to our requirements. It also reflects our values and desire to do our part in the community to lead the way in responding to climate change. We are replacing our existing energy sources with sustainable, more environmentally friendly alternatives with the focus on a sole use of electricity from renewable energy sources.”</p>
<p class=”p1″>“We are functioning in a time when large energy users have limited hedging options. In a volatile energy market, having a fixed price for the supply of electricity through a CPPA is not only good for the environment, but it is also great for budgeting. This solution was hedged at a price that is reflective of current market price level, but delivers budget certainty and sustainability benefits.”</p>
<p class=”p1″>“Our partnership with Flogas Enterprise is a critical component of our ongoing cost efficiency strategy and will enable us to significantly reduce operating costs by shifting to natural gas as our main fuel source. It comes at an exciting time for our business on foot of our recent completion of a €15.7m capital investment programme, which has allowed us to achieve substantial gains in efficiencies and a significant increase our competitiveness. Not only does the deal provide our business with significant cost benefits through direct access to wholesale energy prices, but we are partnering with a company that has demonstrated a deep understanding and expertise of Ireland’s energy market.”</p>
<p class=”p1″>“Our investments in renewable energy not only help to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from our operations in Ireland, but also, together with our energy efficiency efforts, help to control our electricity costs so we can pass any benefits to our customers by continuing to offer high quality home furnishings at low prices. Companies, individuals or governments – we all have responsibility to address the resource dilemma and commit to a more sustainable future. Producing our own, affordable, renewable electricity gets us one step closer to becoming completely energy independent by 2020, while ensuring our commercial success”</p>
