German energy company Uniper on Monday (6 October) said it signed a seven-year biomethane purchase agreement from three of Spain’s largest biomethane plants, which are located in Murcia, with Spanish developer Five Bioenergy.
Uniper said this agreement places the company in a strong position to complement the growing share of renewables with low-carbon energy sources and to accelerate the decarbonisation of both road and maritime sectors.
To support the import of renewable and low-carbon gases, Uniper is expanding its portfolio accordingly. Next to hydrogen and its derivates biomethane plays a crucial role in achieving a sustainable energy mix.
Carsten Poppinga, CCO Uniper, said: “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 decarbonisation of our operations. We look forward to a productive and innovative partnership with Five Bioenergy, and to realising new low-carbon opportunities together that will help to create a cleaner and more resilient energy future.”
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.
Ivan Copin, CIO at Five Bioenergy, said: “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 decarbonised 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.”
