Germany is sounding the alarm, Norway just made history, and in rural Bangladesh, 4,000 families are living proof that biogas can rewrite the rules of energy, agriculture, and human dignity, all at once.
In this episode, Alexandra Arndt breaks down the week’s biggest stories across policy, projects, and technology, then reads the We Are Biogas exclusive feature in full: the story of GREIO and the household biogas revolution quietly unfolding across 27 districts of Bangladesh.
In this episode, we cover:
Policy & Capital: EnviTec Biogas calls Germany’s EEG overhaul an “existential threat,” Italy tightens its 2030 biomethane funding timelines, Ireland launches a National Biomethane Certificate Registry, and Poland signs its first landmark long-term trading deal.
Project Spotlights: Irish whiskey waste becomes grid-ready green gas, Minnesota moves forward on urban organics AD, and a village in Vanuatu gets clean cooking fuel from its own backyard.
Tech & Innovation: Norway achieves the world’s first BECCS operation, biogenic CO₂ from a biogas plant, permanently stored beneath the North Sea. The full value chain, proven.
Expansion & Trends: AstraZeneca’s unsubsidised biomethane model, Unilever’s mayonnaise-to-biogas circular loop in Brazil, the first Bio-LNG bunkering operation in Europe, and Brazil’s new bioenergy atlas.
We Are Biogas Exclusive: Alexandra introduces this week’s feature, the story of Md. Ashrafuzzaman Ashraf and GREIO, the organisation that reached out to share what they’ve been quietly building in Bangladesh. Over 4,000 household digesters. 27 districts. A model that tackles energy poverty, women’s labour, soil health, and methane emissions in a single loop. Alexandra reads the full article.
