The Biogas Buildout Curve: What Happens When Projects Outpace Policy

This week on We Are Biogas, we unpack one of the biggest global weeks yet for biogas, biomethane, RNG, and anaerobic digestion.

From Brazil’s rapid rise as a biomethane powerhouse to Ukraine’s 2035 export strategy, Ireland’s €80 million project launch, and Australia’s growing renewable gas momentum — the industry is moving from ambition to execution.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Brazil closes 2025 with 1,803 biogas plants and rising biomethane output

  • Ukraine launches a national biomethane roadmap aligned with EU markets

  • Ireland breaks ground on a major Cork facility amid policy tensions

  • Sweden unlocks stranded LNG capacity with critical pipeline infrastructure

  • Anaergia expands RNG deployment in the United States

  • Cuba launches its first biomethane transport fuel project

  • Australia updates national gas standards to formally recognise biomethane

  • China scales circular agriculture with pipeline-injected renewable gas

  • Canada pilots breakthrough landfill gas upgrading technology

  • Lithuania expands renewable gas certificate trading across Europe

Exclusive Interview:
Alexandra speaks with Levent Hilmi, Founder of Resource Loop and Head of Growth & Partnerships at Run Energy, for a deep dive into Australia’s emerging biomethane market.

They discuss:

  • Why Australia may become one of the most important new biomethane markets

  • Feedstock bottlenecks and project bankability

  • Grid injection vs behind-the-meter energy use

  • Why cheap fossil gas remains a challenge

  • The 3–5 year horizon for Australia’s project boom

  • Lessons from Europe and North America

If you work in renewable gas, energy transition, waste-to-energy, agriculture, utilities, climate tech, or infrastructure investment — this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
