DEPA Emporias and Pharma Chitas are developing Greece’s first compressed biomethane production unit at the Pharma Chitas facilities in Philippiada. The project, which follows the issuance of the country’s first biomethane production installation license, aims to upgrade biogas into high-purity biomethane for use as bio-CNG vehicle fuel.

The fuel will be distributed through the FISIKON gas station network to support the transport sector with a zero-carbon footprint renewable resource. As the project moves toward trial operations, it is expected to produce up to 2.28 tons of biomethane daily. This pilot initiative serves as a milestone for establishing legal and investment frameworks within the Greek renewable gas market, with the goal of utilizing domestic resources to reduce dependence on imported energy.
