Centrica Energy Trading has struck a deal with Yorkshire Water and SGN Commercial Services that will allow it to extract biomethane from sewage. The 15-year agreement will provide heat for 10,000 homes in the UK, as Energy Live News reported.
The biogas is a by-product of Yorkshire Water’s sewage treatment processes. Centrica Energy will manage the biomethane, including handling, shipping, trading, and balancing.
SGN Commercial Services will handle the biomethane sites’ design, development, and operation. The sites are expected to generate about 125 GWh of biomethane annually, enough to heat 10,000 homes. Kristian Gjerløv-Juel, Director for Renewable Energy Trading and Optimisation at Centrica Energy Trading commented: “Having recently expanded our capabilities to handle trading, nomination, and transportation of green gas in the UK market, we’re working to accelerate biomethane production across Europe and using our capabilities to help businesses deliver on their green procurement strategies and reduce emissions.”
