With the recent acquisition of 40% of Genia Bioenergy, Repsol validates its entry into biomethane production, adding an important set of human and technical resources to its main portfolio of services.

Repsol’s energy target

Biomethane has become an essential component of the European Union’s energy target under the RePower EU Plan to increase its production by 8% by 2030, compared to 2022 levels. According to Sedigas, biomethane could account for almost half of natural gas consumption in Spain, reaffirming its relevance in today’s energy landscape.

This agreement involves the incorporation of 19 biomethane plants under development and 11 additional projects in preliminary stages, all under the direction of Repsol, which will be responsible for the total purchase of the biomethane produced. These projects are intended to form a platform for the promotion of agro-industrial ecosystems.
