Denmark Ran on 100% Biogas for a Day, bp Is Leaving the Sector, and What Both Stories Tell Us About Where This Industry Is Heading #15
This week on We Are Biogas, two stories are driving the conversation, and they couldn't be more different in tone. Denmark produced 100% of its national gas demand from biogas for the first time in history on a warm summer Saturday. And bp announced it is selling Archaea Energy, the largest landfill methane producer in the US, as it exits the sector entirely. One story is a milestone. The other is a moment of reckoning. This episode covers both in depth, plus ten more headlines from across th...

The Time for Delivery Is Now: Ireland, Denmark, India, and a Week That Delivered. #12
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 platform. The details are in the episode. Stick around for it. But first — fourteen headlines. Five continents. A ...

€1.7 Billion In. A Nature Study Drops a Bombshell. And Cork Just Got Ireland's Biggest Food Waste Plant. # 9
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 biomethane grid connection in three years. The Netherlands stacks €150 million in long-term operating su...
