Biomethane spot deals: Current prices and market qualities at a glance
The biomethane spot market in Germany has been experiencing dynamic growth for years. Rising prices for biogas fed into the grid, driven by regulatory measures such as the Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III) and a growing interest in bio-LNG and bio-CNG, are shaping the market. Due to the highly dynamic market, more and more spot deals have been concluded for years instead of long-term supply contracts.
Why spot deals?
Biomethane spot deals offer a short-term supply of certified biomethane and enable energy suppliers, traders and direct customers to react flexibly to market movements. The prices are based on current market developments and can offer attractive entry points compared to long-term supply contracts.
