This week on We Are Biogas, we unpack a defining moment for the global biogas industry — one where the technology is proven, the capital is moving, and the real work is building the systems that make it all last.

From the EU blocking biomethane support mechanisms in two countries in the same week, to India opening its gas grid to compressed biogas for the first time, to a billion-dollar valuation landing in food waste-to-RNG — the floor is being built in real time.

In this episode, we cover:

• The EU targets France after blocking Ireland's domestic biomethane multiplier — a pattern every member state needs to watch
• India's PNGRB approves landmark grid injection guidelines for compressed biogas
• Mobius Renewables acquires Air Liquide's entire global biogas portfolio across the US and Europe
• Ireland's RHO design flaw and why it may trigger biomethane imports instead of domestic production
• Divert opens its Longview, Washington facility and hits a billion-dollar valuation backed by Mitsubishi
• Gaia EnviroTech contracted for biogas system at Victoria's largest mutton abattoir
• Twenty pig farmers in rural Brazil eliminate their gas bills with swine waste biodigesters
• Biogas-to-hydrogen could halve production costs versus electrolysis
• Syzygy Plasmonics begins design on the world's first electrified biogas-to-SAF plant in Uruguay
• Anaerobic digestion confirmed as the top-performing end-of-life pathway for bio-based plastics
• DOE commits $20.2M to advance algae and wet waste feedstock conversion
• Biogas meets the US data center boom under new federal tax credits
• Zambia's community biogas model powering homes, irrigation, and food production
• Brazil's pipeline infrastructure gap identified as the primary biomethane growth constraint
• Evonik brings European membrane upgrading technology to Southeast Asia

Exclusive: Alexandra does a full read-through of this week's We Are Biogas essay — "Before the Market Can Move, We Have to Build the Floor" — a month-in-the-making analysis drawing on four conversations with practitioners across four continents on why biogas is no longer waiting on technology. It's waiting on the systems around it.

If you work in renewable gas, energy transition, circular economy, sustainable agriculture, climate tech, or infrastructure investment — this one's for you.

This week on We Are Biogas, we unpack one of the biggest global weeks yet for biogas, biomethane, RNG, and anaerobic digestion.

From Brazil’s rapid rise as a biomethane powerhouse to Ukraine’s 2035 export strategy, Ireland’s €80 million project launch, and Australia’s growing renewable gas momentum — the industry is moving from ambition to execution.

In this episode, we cover:

• Brazil closes 2025 with 1,803 biogas plants and rising biomethane output
• Ukraine launches a national biomethane roadmap aligned with EU markets
• Ireland breaks ground on a major Cork facility amid policy tensions
• Sweden unlocks stranded LNG capacity with critical pipeline infrastructure
• Anaergia expands RNG deployment in the United States
• Cuba launches its first biomethane transport fuel project
• Australia updates national gas standards to formally recognise biomethane
• China scales circular agriculture with pipeline-injected renewable gas
• Canada pilots breakthrough landfill gas upgrading technology
• Lithuania expands renewable gas certificate trading across Europe

Exclusive Interview:
Alexandra speaks with Levent Hilmi, Founder of Resource Loop and Head of Growth & Partnerships at Run Energy, for a deep dive into Australia’s emerging biomethane market.

They discuss:

• Why Australia may become one of the most important new biomethane markets
• Feedstock bottlenecks and project bankability
• Grid injection vs behind-the-meter energy use
• Why cheap fossil gas remains a challenge
• The 3–5 year horizon for Australia’s project boom
• Lessons from Europe and North America

If you work in renewable gas, energy transition, waste-to-energy, agriculture, utilities, climate tech, or infrastructure investment — this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

The global energy transition is accelerating, but not evenly, and not without friction.

In this episode, we break down the most important developments shaping the biogas, biomethane, and renewable gas sectors right now. From billion-euro policy commitments in Europe to decentralized energy systems scaling in India, and new demand emerging from industries like data centers and heavy transport.

But beyond the headlines, there’s a deeper story unfolding.

Because while technology is advancing and capital is flowing, progress is still being limited by something far less visible: who gets to participate in building what comes next.

Drawing on this week’s featured article and industry insights, we explore the structural and leadership dynamics that could ultimately determine the speed and success of the energy transition.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Where global investment in biogas and biomethane is accelerating, and why it matters now
• How countries like Poland, Brazil, and the Czech Republic are shaping the next phase of renewable gas markets
• Why decentralized energy systems are gaining traction, especially in emerging markets
• The role of biomethane in hard-to-abate sectors like transport and data infrastructure
• What’s driving long-term market growth toward a projected $100B+ global industry
• The hidden structural gaps slowing progress, despite widespread industry alignment
• Why leadership, representation, and decision-making power are becoming critical to scaling the energy transition

Featured in this episode:

• Global policy and investment signals across Europe, Asia, and South America
• Real-world project spotlights and deployment trends
• Market growth projections and demand-side expansion
• Insights from “The Next Era Belongs to Everyone: The Gender Diversity Gap Slowing the Energy Transition”

The energy transition isn’t just a technology challenge; it’s a systems challenge.

And the systems we build now will define how fast we move, and who gets to shape the future of energy.
