Greece to launch first biomethane plant by 2027

Greece is preparing to launch its first biomethane production facility, located at the Farma Chitas biogas plant in Filippiada. The project is a collaboration between the state-owned gas company DEPA Commercial and the biogas plant owner.

The installation will process biogas surpluses to produce up to 2.28 tons of biomethane daily. Once purified and compressed into bio-CNG, the gas will be sold as transport fuel through DEPA Commercial’s Fisikon network, which currently operates 34 refueling stations across Greece.

While the Filippiada project is a pilot, it marks a significant step in establishing the legal and investment frameworks for the Greek renewable gas market. The initiative aims to better utilize domestic energy resources and reduce reliance on imported fuels.
