Inside the Opaque Biomethane Market: Pricing, Proofs of Sustainability and Regulatory Drivers
WHEN: 26 November 2025, 1-2 PM GMT | Online
Biomethane markets are exploding across Europe – but understanding how value is actually created (or lost) remains a mystery to most producers, buyers and investors.
Unlike renewable electricity, where Guarantees of Origin offer a harmonised pricing framework, biomethane certification is fragmented, opaque and deeply dependent on national regulation, feedstock origin and end-use application.
In this one-hour session, we lift the curtain on how biomethane is really priced – and why the same molecule can be worth €30/MWh in one country and €150/MWh in another.
We’ll unpack:
-
What’s actually trading today in European biomethane markets – who’s buying, who’s selling, and why?
-
How Proofs of Sustainability influence price – what matters most: feedstock, geography, end-use or policy compliance?
-
Voluntary vs compliance markets – who pays more: corporate decarbonisation buyers or mandate-driven sectors such as maritime and transport?
-
Which policy shifts (EU and non-EU) will move prices next?
-
How certification of power and biomethane interact – and how to leverage both in corporate decarbonisation.

Lessons from China’s Biomethane Market
WHEN: Tuesday, 9 December, 9-10 AM GMT | Online
China is rapidly emerging as a global leader in biomethane production, offering valuable lessons and opportunities for investors, technology providers, and policy-makers worldwide. In this community online session, Tina Koppejan, Founder and Principal, Whiteleaf Climate (former APAC Senior Director Public Policy Shell) will present on Why Biomethane Matters: Singapore’s Hub, China’s Scale

- Global importance and relevance of biomethane
- Singapore’s Hub. Discuss Singapore’s role and potential as a hub for biomethane in Asia
- China’s Scale. Highlight the significant scale and unique characteristics of biomethane development in China
- Contrast between the two jurisdictions. Offer a brief comparison of the approaches and challenges in Singapore and China.
Community Ambassador Hilman Dwi Putra, APAC Biomethane Strategist, ACT Commodities, will provide an in-depth look at China’s biomethane landscape and explore how global markets can learn from its growth trajectory.
Participants will gain insights into:
- Current status and scale of China’s biomethane industry
- Key drivers, policies, and technological innovations
- Comparisons with other leading biomethane markets worldwide

How Future Biogas and AstraZeneca made unsubsidised biogas work
WHEN: Tuesday, 16 September
In this World Biogas Association webinar, Dr Nick Primmer, Policy Lead at Future Biogas, explains how Future Biogas and AstraZeneca delivered Europe’s first unsubsidised biogas plant.
Drivers of regional biogas growth: North America and Asia
WHEN: Wednesday, 22 October, 3-4 PM BST | Online
Biogas and biomethane have massive potential to transform energy systems worldwide – yet progress looks very different from one region to the next. Why has China leapt ahead in biomethane while ASEAN countries are still unlocking their potential? Why does biogas still lag behind other renewables in visibility and investment? And what can a global community do to change that?
Join Community Ambassadors Hilman Putra (ACT Group) and Alex Marshall (Clarke Energy), for an exclusive discussion of regional differences affecting industry growth.
Understand:
- Key regional drivers from North America and Asia
- What policies, subsidies, and feedstock availability mean for scaling up
- Lessons learned from contrasting regional success stories
- Untapped opportunities in agriculture, wastewater, food & beverage, and municipal waste
- How we can better showcase biogas on the global stage.
This interactive roundtable brings together regional ambassadors, industry experts, and community members for a global conversation on barriers, opportunities, and the actions needed to accelerate momentum.
Moderated breakout sessions
