What are the benefits

For producers

Earn regular income from exporting Green Gas

ENGIE was the first energy supplier to develop flexible Gas Purchasing Agreements (GPAs) for green gas, allowing businesses to earn income from the gas exported. With our expertise, we have the expertise and experience to develop a tailored gas purchase contract for your business.

A Biomethane Purchase Agreement (BPA) offers financial security for biomethane producers, facilitating long-term planning and encouraging investment in biomethane technologies, which supports industry growth.

What are the benefits

For customers

For clients, a BPA guarantees access to biomethane and provides cost predictability.

No investment is required on the customer’s part, as biomethane has the same composition as natural gas and is transported through existing networks. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than 80%.

Installation of Technology

To inject your gas directly into the gas network, you’ll need to install technology that cleans, purifies, and pressurizes it. Reliable systems for this purpose are readily available and can be installed on any type of biomethane-generating plant, including sewage treatment works, anaerobic digestion, and waste-recycling plants.

Flexible Contracts

You can opt for an index-linked contract to earn daily market rates or a fixed-price contract for budget certainty. Just provide a forecast of your expected output, and ENGIE will handle the relationship with National Grid and manage all balancing services for you.

Added Value with Netting Arrangements

If ENGIE is your gas supplier, we can set up ‘netting’ arrangements to give you better rates for both imported and exported gas, allowing you to ‘self-supply’ your site. ENGIE can also purchase and retire Renewable Gas Guarantees of Origin (RGGO) certificates for you.
