ENGIE, a multinational electric utility company, has purchased UK-based biomethane producer Ixora Energy Ltd for £64.8m ($79.4m), adding three new production units to their portfolio and increasing their total biomethane production capacity in Europe to 670 GWh, bringing them closer to their goal of achieving 10 TWh of capacity by 2030. The acquisition aligns with the overall growth and potential of the European biomethane market, which is expected to experience substantial growth in the coming years. To address the challenge of meeting biomethane production targets, the Biomethane Industrial Partnership (BIP) has been established to promote engagement and collaboration between the European Commission, EU countries, industry representatives, and other stakeholders. ENGIE’s acquisition of Ixora Energy Ltd strengthens their position in the biomethane market and contributes to the growth of renewable gas in Europe.
