agriportance is a specialized platform for biomethane and LCO₂ and offers sustainable product solutions. We support companies along the entire biomethane value chain – from brokerage and certifications to GHG and mass balance calculations as well as training and consulting. All services are coordinated and available from a single source.

Our services are aimed at companies along the entire biomethane value chain – including biogas plant operators, gas network operators, energy suppliers, industrial companies, traders, as well as companies that want to reduce their GHG emissions, procure biomethane and LCO₂, or implement sustainable product solutions.

Yes. Our services are scalable and tailored individually to the requirements and resources of your company – regardless of company size.

We connect producers, traders and buyers of biomethane and LCO₂ and support the entire brokerage process – from initial contact and contract structuring to successful completion.

After an initial needs analysis, we identify suitable suppliers from our network, support negotiations and assist with contractual arrangements. This gives you access to certified biomethane that meets your requirements.

LCO₂ (liquefied CO₂) is produced as a by-product during biogas upgrading and can be used industrially – for example in the food industry, agriculture or technology. The use of LCO₂ contributes to resource efficiency and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

A greenhouse gas balance (GHG balance) records and evaluates all climate-relevant emissions along a process or product – from production to use. It is often a prerequisite for certifications and regulatory compliance.

A GHG balance is required, among other things, if you want to market biomethane as a renewable fuel, pursue sustainability certifications or provide proof within the framework of the European Renewable Energy Directive (RED II / RED III).

Our GHG calculations are based on the current regulatory requirements of RED III as well as the specifications of the relevant certification systems (REDcert², ISCC, SURE). We document all calculations in a transparent and audit-proof manner.

We support certifications according to the three leading systems in Germany and Europe:

• REDcert – for biomass and biofuels
• ISCC (International Sustainability and Carbon Certification) – internationally recognized, for various feedstocks and supply chains
• SURE (Sustainable Resources Verification Scheme) – recognized for biofuels and biomass under RED II / RED III

A certification proves that your products or processes meet legal sustainability requirements. It is often a prerequisite for marketing biomethane as a fuel, for accessing funding programs and for counting towards national greenhouse gas reduction quotas.

A gap assessment is a preliminary analysis in which we compare your company’s current status with the requirements of the respective certification system. This allows gaps to be identified early and closed in a targeted manner before the official audit takes place.

The duration depends on your company’s initial situation, the chosen certification system and the certification body. Experience shows that you should plan three to six months for an initial certification. We ensure through structured preparation that the process is as efficient as possible.

We also support you during annual surveillance and recertification – including documentation maintenance, preparation for follow-up audits and ongoing communication with the certification body.

Mass balancing is a method for tracking material flows – for example biomethane within a gas network. It ensures that the sustainability characteristics of a product can be documented and transferred along the supply chain without having to physically track quantities directly.

Yes. For the marketing of biomethane as a fuel and for eligibility for greenhouse gas quota accounting, a compliant mass balance according to RED III or the respective certification systems is mandatory.

Yes. We take care of the complete setup, maintenance and documentation of your mass balance system – audit-proof and ready at any time.

We offer practical training on the following topics:

• fundamentals and functioning of biomethane
• sustainability certifications (REDcert², ISCC, SURE)
• greenhouse gas accounting and mass balancing
• regulatory requirements (RED III, BImSchG, GEG)
• internal audits and certification preparation

Our trainings are aimed at specialists and managers in the fields of energy, sustainability, compliance and procurement – both beginners and experienced professionals who want to update their knowledge.

Yes. In addition to our standard trainings, we provide individual consulting – for example in developing a biomethane strategy, optimizing existing processes or preparing for regulatory changes.

We offer both – digital formats (webinars, online workshops) as well as on-site events at your location or at our premises.

Our webinars are live digital formats held at scheduled times with a focus on current topics – open to all interested participants. Specialist seminars, on the other hand, are more intensive and last several hours. Webinars are ideal for quickly gaining an overview and engaging in discussion with our experts.

We offer free webinars.

Yes. All registered participants receive the recording by email afterwards. This allows you to review the content flexibly and use it as a reference at any time.

The collaboration begins with a free initial consultation in which we analyze your needs and jointly define the appropriate scope of services. You will then receive an individual offer. Operational collaboration takes place with dedicated contacts, clear processes and transparent communication.

We can usually start at short notice. Simply contact us – we will get back to you within 24 hours.
