The levels and indexing of the purchase prices for biomethane injected into distribution or natural gas transport networks, between the producer and the supplier, are set by the order of November 23, 2011.
Their calculation requires an analysis of the installation (type of installation, maximum production capacity), of the operating mode (proportion of certain inputs in the total supply), as well as the signing and effective date of the purchase contract.
Insofar as purchase prices directly determine the level of operating revenues, it is imperative to perform a rigorous calculation, based on the mathematical formulas of the order and econometric simulations.
Zelya Energy, thanks to its model, supports you in:
In most European countries, it is now possible to inject renewable natural gas (biomethane) into natural gas distribution and transportation networks.
Injection into natural gas networks thus becomes another outlet for biomethane, which can already be valorised through the production of electricity, heat, electricity and heat (cogeneration), or as biofuel.
In order to support the scheme and guarantee a "gas" grid parity, the State has also implemented a regulated sale price for biomethane as soon as it is injected into the networks and sold to already authorised natural gas suppliers.
The injection and sale of biomethane are activities subject to new and specific regulation. The aim is to ensure the compliance of biomethane with the technical specifications of distribution and transportation networks (quality, pressure, odourisation, injection point, etc.) for injection into the networks, as well as compliance with requirements regarding the characteristics of the installations or components of biomethane for the benefit of regulated sales tariffs.
Eligibility for this new mechanism requires the producer to carry out a certain number of administrative and contractual procedures relating to the guarantee of origin, connection, injection, sale of biomethane to natural gas suppliers, administrative registration of the installation.
Are you a producer of biomethane or an investor in the capital of a biomethane production company?
Ever since biomethane can be injected into natural gas transport or distribution networks, you have several outlets and strategies that need to be evaluated.
Under the current regulations, biomethane can be:
Each outlet has its own specificities, in terms of regulatory framework (authorizations to be obtained, steps to be taken), counterparts, duration and nature (private, administrative) of contracts, physico-chemical characteristics of biomethane, etc.
Of course, a very different economic logic (impact of the production mode for a cogeneration plant, cost of purchasing the heat injected into a heating network for a boiler, price for using natural gas networks, etc.) needs to be clarified, assimilated and compared.
Finally, the best strategy can be a combination of two outlets, main and auxiliary.
With our knowledge of the applicable regulations and contractual arrangements for each possible outlet, Zelya Energy assists you to:
