We Are Biogas

This week on We Are Biogas, we're back after a week away — and it was worth every minute of the silence. Alexandra spent last week at Biomethane Day Ireland, hosted by Gruppo AB and Nephin Energy in Dublin, and the experience of being in that room among the people physically building Ireland's biomethane sector is what this episode is built around. The field report is live on the platfor...

This week on We Are Biogas, we're doing something a little different. Before the headlines, Alexandra takes you inside Willen Biogas in Enfield, London — her first-ever visit to a full-scale anaerobic digestion facility — alongside Flávio Ascenco of ABEC, who walks her through every stage of the process from intake bay to digestate output. It's the conversation and the site visit that ch...

This week on We Are Biogas, the headlines span five continents, three industry firsts, and every scale of the sector — from a €26 million EBRD-backed biomethane conversion in Latvia to a sewage treatment plant in Seoul that is now producing hydrogen for city buses, to a dairy farm in Jerome, Idaho processing more than 5 million gallons of manure a day into one of North America's largest singl...

I was supposed to be on a two-week break. Then this week's headlines landed. Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners drops a €1.7 billion bioenergy fund with a €200 million European Investment Fund anchor. Nature Sustainability publishes a methane leakage study with findings that every wastewater biogas operator needs to read — and not all of them are going to like it. Ireland signs its seventh bi...

This week on We Are Biogas, the headlines span four continents and every scale of the industry. From a 74-tonne biomethane truck hauling sugar to the Port of Santos on fuel made from the same cane it's carrying, to homes across Wrexham being heated by sewage collected from all of North Wales, to Osaka Gas converting used bento boxes into biogas at a municipal sewage plant in Japan. We're...

This week on We Are Biogas, we're watching the biogas world move in every direction at once — from a novel feedstock certification in the Amazon, to a grid access breakthrough in the Baltics, to a research lab in Washington State quietly tripling what we thought was possible from sewage sludge. The story this week is scale, speed, and the very specific problem standing between 2,600 operating...

This week on We Are Biogas, we unpack a defining moment for the global biogas industry — one where the technology is proven, the capital is moving, and the real work is building the systems that make it all last. From the EU blocking biomethane support mechanisms in two countries in the same week, to India opening its gas grid to compressed biogas for the first time, to a billion-dollar valuation...

This week on We Are Biogas , we unpack one of the biggest global weeks yet for biogas, biomethane, RNG, and anaerobic digestion. From Brazil’s rapid rise as a biomethane powerhouse to Ukraine’s 2035 export strategy, Ireland’s €80 million project launch, and Australia’s growing renewable gas momentum — the industry is moving from ambition to execution. In this episode, we cover:  Brazil closes 2025...

The global energy transition is accelerating, but not evenly, and not without friction. In this episode, we break down the most important developments shaping the biogas, biomethane, and renewable gas sectors right now. From billion-euro policy commitments in Europe to decentralized energy systems scaling in India, and new demand emerging from industries like data centers and heavy transport. But...

At a moment when global investment, policy momentum, and technological maturity are all accelerating, one question sits at the center of it all: Why isn’t biogas scaling as fast as it should? In this deep-dive, Alexandra Arndt unpacks a candid and globally informed conversation with Flávio Ascenco, exploring the gap between ambition and execution, and why closing it could unlock the industry’s ful...
