PSG: We want to compress and transport biomethane

Polska Spółka Gazownictwa is technologically ready to transmit biomethane through its networks. Jakub Kowalski, a member of the PSG Management Board for Operations during the 36th EuroPOWER & 6th OZE POWER Conference about the greening of gas and the future of system heat producers.
"In connection with the EU requirements for air quality, we note an increased interest in heating plants connecting to our networks. Currently, about 330 system heat producers want to join. All that because natural gas is the only way for them to achieve climate neutrality," said a member of the PSG Management Board for Operations. "It is that the ratio of natural gas to biomethane made in biogas plants will change. We want this process to proceed as quickly as possible, but it will not take place without an appropriate support system," he added.

Soon, the first biogas plant will be connected to the grid at the Gasworks Branch in Wrocław. The major obstacle in creating new ones is the lack of a financial support system. PSG also sees another problem related to network capacity.

"Most biogas plants are located in places in Poland where either there is no adequately developed distribution network, or we have a group of customers in a given area for whom the amount of gas taken from the Gaz-System network is sufficient. Today, we are looking for solutions that will allow us to pump the produced methane to places in Poland where our customers' needs are greater. Together with the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management, we agree on the initial conditions of the program, thanks to which we will be able to compress methane in biogas plants and transport it to other places in Poland," summed up Jakub Kowalski.
