Biomethane is an effective part of Edison's strategy focusing on sustainability and the development of innovative solutions for the energy system, as it offers an alternative to natural gas permitting improvement of the services offered to customers and long-term impact on the land. In this sense, the company is engaged in a major plan for the development and construction of new biogas/biomethane production plants, with the goal of completing at least 10 plants by 2030 and acquiring a significant position in the sector.
Edison is working on several fronts to develop biomethane, in both liquid (LNG) and gaseous form, for instance by building and operating plants for the generation of biomethane from the Organic Fraction of Municipal Solid Waste (OFMSW).
In addition, the company is also active in sales, through delivery of biomethane to about 180 CNG automobile service stations all over Italy, as well as in heavy-duty transport, with pick-up and delivery of bio-LNG.
Biomethane is a constantly evolving part of the energy sector to which Edison pays special attention and which it intends to develop further, gradually integrating it into its system of offerings and services.
