RWE
RWE has been reliably supplying people and companies with heat, electricity and gas around the clock for over 125 years. Decarbonization and sustainability are firmly anchored in our “Growing Green” corporate strategy. Because we have a clear goal: climate neutrality by 2040.
As part of this strategy, RWE operates two biogas plants in Germany via RWE Generation SE. One plant is located near Neurath and can supply around 1,600 households with electricity and an adjacent industrial plant with heat. A more advanced plant is located in Bergheim-Paffendorf. This biogas plant produces around 30,000 cubic meters of biogas every day, from which around 16,000 cubic meters of biomethane of natural gas quality are produced. The biomethane upgraded to natural gas quality is fed into the local natural gas grid.
Cross-border trading in physical biomethane and biomethane certificates is handled by RWE Supply & Trading GmbH. The trading subsidiary of RWE AG operates a pan-European gas portfolio, which serves as the basis for biomethane trading. As an ISCC-EU-certified trader of green gas, RWE also offers different qualities of biomethane.
