The Floor Builders: How Certifications, Contracts, and Community Digesters Are Constructing the Global Biogas Market

This week on We Are Biogas, we unpack a defining moment for the global biogas industry — one where the technology is proven, the capital is moving, and the real work is building the systems that make it all last.

From the EU blocking biomethane support mechanisms in two countries in the same week, to India opening its gas grid to compressed biogas for the first time, to a billion-dollar valuation landing in food waste-to-RNG — the floor is being built in real time.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The EU targets France after blocking Ireland’s domestic biomethane multiplier — a pattern every member state needs to watch

  • India’s PNGRB approves landmark grid injection guidelines for compressed biogas

  • Mobius Renewables acquires Air Liquide’s entire global biogas portfolio across the US and Europe

  • Ireland’s RHO design flaw and why it may trigger biomethane imports instead of domestic production

  • Divert opens its Longview, Washington facility and hits a billion-dollar valuation backed by Mitsubishi

  • Gaia EnviroTech contracted for biogas system at Victoria’s largest mutton abattoir

  • Twenty pig farmers in rural Brazil eliminate their gas bills with swine waste biodigesters

  • Biogas-to-hydrogen could halve production costs versus electrolysis

  • Syzygy Plasmonics begins design on the world’s first electrified biogas-to-SAF plant in Uruguay

  • Anaerobic digestion confirmed as the top-performing end-of-life pathway for bio-based plastics

  • DOE commits $20.2M to advance algae and wet waste feedstock conversion

  • Biogas meets the US data center boom under new federal tax credits

  • Zambia’s community biogas model powering homes, irrigation, and food production

  • Brazil’s pipeline infrastructure gap identified as the primary biomethane growth constraint

  • Evonik brings European membrane upgrading technology to Southeast Asia

Exclusive: Alexandra does a full read-through of this week’s We Are Biogas essay — “Before the Market Can Move, We Have to Build the Floor” — a month-in-the-making analysis drawing on four conversations with practitioners across four continents on why biogas is no longer waiting on technology. It’s waiting on the systems around it.

If you work in renewable gas, energy transition, circular economy, sustainable agriculture, climate tech, or infrastructure investment — this one’s for you.
