Moeve and Pretium Renovables have entered into an agreement to develop between four and six biomethane plants in Spain. Each plant is planned with an estimated annual production capacity of 60 GWh. The projects are expected to be rolled out across multiple regions, with Andalusia identified as the priority area for initial development.
Each biomethane plant is projected to offset around 14,600 tonnes of carbon emissions annually. This is equivalent to the emissions associated with the conventional natural gas consumption of more than 11,400 households annually. The plants are designed to support the circular economy and strengthen economic activity in rural areas through renewable gas production. Their deployment plants is intended to contribute to regional development by integrating waste-based renewable energy solutions into local economies.
Additionally, the collaboration aligns with Moeve’s broader plans to build an ecosystem focused on second-generation biofuels. The company has been expanding its partner network, which reportedly includes ID Energy Group, Kira Ventures, PreZero, and InproEner. The use of biomethane is expected to reduce carbon emissions from Moeve’s energy parks and chemical plants, as well as from customer and partner operations. Moeve aims to manage 4 TWh of biomethane in Spain by 2030, using agricultural and livestock waste. These actions contribute to the company’s decarbonisation strategy, which targets a 55 per cent reduction in scope 1 and scope 2 carbon emissions by 2030 compared to 2019.
