Biomethane spot deals: Current prices and market qualities at a glance
The biomethane spot market in Germany has been experiencing dynamic development for years. Rising prices for fed-in biogas, driven by regulatory measures such as the Renewable Energy Directive II (RED II), and growing interest in bio-LNG and bio-CNG, are shaping the market. Biomethane from farmyard manure and advanced waste is gaining particular importance, as it can be double-counted for greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, thus offering higher revenue opportunities. Due to the highly dynamic market, more and more spot deals have been concluded in recent years, instead of long-term supply contracts.
Why Spot Deals?
Biomethane spot deals offer short-term supplies of certified biomethane and enable energy suppliers, traders, and direct consumers to respond flexibly to market fluctuations. Prices are based on current market developments and can offer attractive entry points compared to long-term supply contracts.
The categories listed here are the most commonly traded grades. These grades differ in the substrates used, which also determine the target market. In the fuel sector, for example, only biomethane from liquid manure/manure is used, as these substrates generate the greatest greenhouse gas reduction.
