Gasum Sells Lahti Biogas Upgrading Unit to Nevel in Supply Chain Restructure

Finnish gas company Gasum has sold its biogas upgrading unit in Lahti to energy company Nevel, with the transaction taking effect on June 23. Under the arrangement, Nevel takes ownership of the upgrading unit and will manage the full value chain from raw biogas production through upgrading, while Gasum continues to purchase all of the resulting biomethane under a long-term agreement and feeds it into the gas network. The companies said the change will have no impact on customers.

Nevel had previously supplied raw biogas to the unit from its adjacent Kujala plant, which processes around 90,000 tonnes of biodegradable waste, sewage sludge, and industrial side streams each year and produces roughly 50 GWh of biogas. Nevel, which acquired the biogas plant from Labio in 2025, plans to invest in renewing operations to improve efficiency and expand upgrading capacity. Gasum retains ownership of the gas grid connection and associated container unloading station.

Biogas Producer PGB Cuts Ribbon on New Plant in Poland

Polish biogas producer Polska Grupa Biogazowa (PGB), part of TotalEnergies, has launched its 22nd biogas plant in the country. The new installation in Dlugoszyn, in the western Lubusz province, will process about 46,000 tonnes of substrates per year, producing 8.4 GWh of electricity and 8 GWh of heat. The company said the generated electricity will meet the demand of roughly 3,000 households.

The 1 MWe plant is expected to deliver an estimated PLN 4 million (around USD 1 million) in annual benefits to the local community within a 50 km radius, flowing to agri-food and digestate processors as well as transport and service companies. PGB is the largest producer of electricity and heat from biogas in Poland, with a roughly 15% market share, and is developing a network of biogas and biomethane plants that support the circular economy and help stabilize the national power system.

3 Open Minutes with Geoff Dietz

Renewable natural gas (RNG) projects capture methane from animal manure to create a low-carbon, waste-derived fuel to power vehicles and buildings. The latest data shows that U.S. farms are capturing 166% more biogas than what was captured five years ago, processing 25 billion gallons of manure annually. For dairy farmers, these projects are an economically sustainable practice that redirects methane from the environment.

Progressive Dairy Editor Jenn Coyne connected with Geoff Dietz, senior director of federal government affairs with the Renewable Natural Gas Coalition, to learn more about how this alternative energy sector has evolved to its current state in the U.S. dairy industry.

BCG White Paper: The Shock That Reframed Energy Security and the Importance of Biofuels

A new BCG white paper argues that a recent energy supply disruption through the Strait of Hormuz has reframed biofuels from a decarbonization lever into a core energy-security tool. The authors note the corridor is a chokepoint for roughly 20% of global LNG trade, with impacts cascading across oil, LNG, petrochemicals, fertilizers, and transport fuels.

The paper makes the case that biofuels can serve as a practical shock absorber within a broader resilience portfolio, reducing marginal import exposure, creating domestic price anchors, and improving crisis resilience, and suggests this changes how the biofuel premium should be valued.

The Case for U.S. Food Waste Biomethane to Supply Emerging Global Demand

Vanguard Renewables argues that food waste biomethane deserves a central place in corporate decarbonization portfolios, citing its scalability, low cost of abatement, circularity, and access to carbon-intensity-sensitive markets. The company points to accelerating policy momentum, from the EU’s RED III targets to Japan’s developing METI import pathways, as governments build frameworks that reward the lowest-CI fuel sources.

The piece highlights that U.S. food waste biomethane can reach deeply negative carbon intensity scores today and requires no new export infrastructure, since it can be injected into existing pipelines, liquefied at current LNG terminals, and shipped to Asia and Europe using existing vessels.

Clean Energy Expands into Puerto Rico with LNG Supply Systems for Energy Security

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. has been awarded two contracts to design and install liquefied natural gas (LNG) fueling systems for gas-to-power applications in Puerto Rico, marking its first LNG supply infrastructure deals on the island. The projects, signed with P.R. Energy Partners and a global healthcare supplier, will together fuel 10 megawatts of installed power.

The agreements include LNG station equipment for a pharmaceutical manufacturing operation and a supply station fueling a six-megawatt combined heat and power plant serving luxury residential and hotel operations. Clean Energy’s modular LNG infrastructure is aimed at strengthening energy resilience in grid-constrained markets.

Targray Collaboration Expands RNG Supply to Canadian Markets

Targray has announced a strategic collaboration with RNG producer LF Bioenergy to bring renewable natural gas to industrial, commercial, and transportation customers across Canada. The deal pairs LF Bioenergy’s agricultural RNG production with Targray’s market network, supply chain capabilities, and carbon market expertise.

Under the agreement, Targray will purchase LF Bioenergy’s RNG and help customers with procurement, environmental attribute management, and compliance across Canada’s complex patchwork of low-carbon fuel programs, expanding access in regions where regulatory hurdles have limited participation.

Nebraska Builds Plant to Turn Cow Manure into Renewable Natural Gas

Neogenyx Fuels, an Ameresco company, has begun construction on a first-of-its-kind renewable natural gas facility at a cattle feedlot near Broken Bow, Nebraska.

The plant will use anaerobic digestion to capture methane from livestock manure and refine it into pipeline-quality RNG for injection into the local distribution system.
