How Companies Use Biomethane to Reduce Scope 1 Emissions

Decarbonizing Gas Supply at Scale

Industrial and energy-intensive companies face rising pressure to cut Scope 1 emissions while maintaining operational reliability.
As natural gas remains critical to heat and process applications, biomethane, a renewable gas produced from organic waste, offers a proven, scalable substitute.

Sourcing certified biomethane across Europe and beyond remains complex. Supply is fragmented, regulations evolve, and certification standards vary. Companies need a partner with market access, regulatory insight, and execution capability across jurisdictions.

FAQS

What is biomethane?

Biomethane is a renewable gas produced from organic waste through anaerobic digestion. It has the same chemical properties as fossil natural gas and can be injected into existing pipelines to replace it directly.

How can biomethane help reduce Scope 1 emissions?

By substituting fossil gas in industrial or heating processes, biomethane enables measurable, verifiable Scope 1 emission reductions using certified Proof of Sustainability.

Is biomethane eligible under ETS or voluntary frameworks?

Yes. Biomethane can be used in many EU ETS-covered sectors and voluntary schemes, provided it carries valid certification under ISCC or equivalent systems.

What certifications does STRIVE offer?

We provide biomethane verified under ISCC, RED II/III, and national Proof of Sustainability (PoS) frameworks, including CI tracking and feedstock origin.

How flexible are STRIVE’s sourcing options?

Clients can choose between spot transactions, multi-year offtakes, sourcing mandates or strategic partnerships, depending on consumption needs and long-term objectives.
