Biomethane is a renewable gas. It is made from biodegradable matter such as food waste, sewage or energy crops. It has a key role to play in a low carbon economy.
Britain has a comprehensive network of gas pipes reaching over 80 per cent of UK homes. We don't need to make any changes to appliances or the gas network to use biomethane.
We want to increase the amount of renewable gas we have on our network. And we want to make it as simple as possible for producers to connect to our network.
meeting energy demand by using sustainable resources.
If you are thinking about becoming, or are an existing, biomethane producer you can find out more on these pages.
There are eight steps to getting connected.
Financial reconciliation and project close out.

Use this form to find out whether there is sufficient capacity in the gas network where you intend to produce biomethane.
More details on this initial step are available in our Commercial Arrangements section.
The biomethane connection process described in more detail in one downloadable guide.
We have five biomethane projects with Severn Trent which produce biogas from sewage, food waste and crops. Martin Lightfoot, Renewable Energy Engineer at Severn Trent Water, provides an insight into these projects and his experience of the process.
