Plenium Partners, an independent Spanish investment group focused on renewable energy, energy transition, circular economy, and social infrastructure, has secured over €25 million in funding from ING Italia for its first biomethane plant in Italy.
The financing was structured through a bilateral Project Finance agreement, reported EU-Startups.
Located in the province of Pavia, the facility is expected to start operations in Q1 2026.
The project is part of a broader plan for four biomethane plants that are being developed across the country - in an agreement made with Aragorn Value Leadership.
The four plants will have a capacity of around 500 standard cubic metres p/h.
This initial facility has already taken part in the third biomethane tariff auction organised by GSE, Italy’s renewable energy incentive body.
It will process approximately 50,000 tonnes of livestock and agricultural waste annually.
The plant is also among the few in Italy designed for full CO₂ recovery, which means it will have a stronger impact in terms of greenhouse gas emission reductions compared to standard facilities.
