Biomethane

 

Renewable gas production plants connecting to the Danish gas system must comply with rules for the supply of upgraded biogas (Bio Natural Gas) into the Danish gas system and sign a connection agreement with the net owner i.e. either Energinet or Evida. Any pressure requirements are agreed in the connection agreement between the plant owner and the net owner.

 

Please consult “Rules for the Supply of Upgraded Biogas into the Danish Gas System”, which governs the process of upgrading biogas to biomethane and injecting the biomethane into the Danish gas system.

The connection agreement is in Danish only.

 

Rules for the Supply of Upgraded Biogas into the Danish Gas System

Biomethane guarantees of origin

A detailed description of Energinet's biomethane guarantee of origin scheme is outlined on this page:
