Recent developments indicate expanding investment and planning for biomethane production across Europe.

In France, a new 10 million euro investment platform led by Épopée Gestion, Enervivo, and Urbeez has been established to fund ten biomethane projects over the next three years. The initiative focuses on modernizing existing agricultural biogas plants to enable biomethane injection into the gas grid, with the first project in La Chapelle expected to be completed by autumn 2027.

In Portugal, a 20 million euro project to construct a biomethane production unit in Ferreira do Alentejo has entered a public consultation phase. The facility, promoted by FBG Ferreira do Alentejo, aims to process approximately 69,500 tons of organic waste annually through anaerobic digestion to produce nearly 4.9 million cubic meters of biomethane per year for the National Natural Gas Distribution Network.
