Plenitude and Methagora, a biomethane solutions developer and gas supplier, have signed an agreement covering the sourcing in France of 50 GWh of biomethane per year over a 15-year period, in line with the French legislation concerning the Biomethane Production Certificates (BPC) scheme (1).
Under the agreement, Methagora will sell Plenitude biomethane sourced from a range of agricultural areas in France. The supply of biomethane will contribute to support the development of the French biomethane sector.
The partnership between Plenitude and Methagora highlights both companies’ long-term commitment to securing certified biomethane volumes for the French market and is based on the BPC scheme, which is a key lever enabling biomethane producers to invest, while ensuring that end consumers have access to certified and locally produced energy.
Plenitude is active in France in the retail market with almost 1 million customers and in the renewable energy sector with around 1GW installed capacity. The company is also expanding its presence in the national electric vehicle charging solutions market.
Methagora targets existing methanation sites that currently valorize biogas through cogeneration(2). The company’s innovative model converts these units to injection by installing new equipment as purifiers, compressors and expansion valves to produce biomethane.
