Estonia-based biomethane developer Elenger has facilitated the region's first cross-border biomethane trade transaction, in acquiring biomethane for a company in Latvia.
The biomethane was sold from the Czech Republic to the BLRT group company.
“This step is important for promoting the green transition in the Baltic region – we tested the regulations of different countries and the readiness of system operators and gained confidence that biomethane can be successfully and seamlessly acquired across multiple national borders and gas networks,” said Margus Kaasik, chairman of the Board of Elenger.
“For Elenger, this means strengthening its position as the leading seller of biomethane in the Baltics. In Estonia, we are developing local biomethane production in several biomethane plants together with partners, and the gas is currently being sold at filling stations for use as transport fuel. At the same time, we see potential for biomethane in heating and are considering the possibility of importing biomethane to meet growing demand,” Kaasik added.
