The German energy company Uniper and the Spanish developer Five Bioenergy have signed a 7-year biomethane purchase agreement from three of Spain’s largest biomethane plants, which are located in Murcia.
This agreement places Uniper in a strong position to complement the growing share of renewables with low-carbon energy sources and to accelerate the decarbonization of both road and maritime sectors. It is a significant milestone in the ongoing commitment to delivering reliable, sustainable energy to customers across Europe. To support the import of renewable and low-carbon gases, Uniper is expanding its portfolio accordingly. Next to hydrogen and its derivatives, biomethane plays a crucial role in achieving a sustainable energy mix.
“We are very proud to partner with the leading Spanish biomethane developer, Five Bioenergy. The supply agreement underscores our ambition to expand and diversify our low-carbon energy portfolio. By sourcing high-quality biomethane, we are not only strengthening our supply sources but also advancing the decarbonization of our operations. We look forward to a productive and innovative partnership with Five Bioenergy and to realizing new low-carbon opportunities together that will help to create a cleaner and more resilient energy future.” Carsten Poppinga, CCO of Uniper.
The agreement with Uniper represents a major milestone for Five Bioenergy, solidifying its role as a leading developer of large-scale biomethane projects in Europe. This long-term partnership underscores Five Bioenergy’s commitment to advancing innovative, sustainable energy solutions.
“This collaboration with Uniper validates our strategy of merging cutting-edge technology with industrial-scale production. It secures a stable market for our biomethane while reinforcing our vision of a decarbonized Europe powered by renewable energy. Far more than a commercial deal, this partnership is a decisive catalyst for accelerating the energy transition and advancing a circular economy.” Ivan Copin, CIO at Five Bioenergy.
