How can waste become a reliable, scalable energy source?
In this Greenstat Center of Excellence for Hydrogen (COE-H) webinar, we explore the real-world potential of biomethane production — one of the most practical pathways for clean energy, circular economy integration, and energy security.

📅 20 March 2026
🎙 Moderator: Prasadini Wickramasinghe, Energy Analyst – Greenstat Asia
👤 Speaker: Evald Pärni, Regional Sales Director – Biovoima Ltd.
What You’ll Learn
This session goes beyond theory and focuses on practical, deployable solutions in the biomethane value chain:
✔ How organic waste (agriculture, food, sewage) is converted into energy
✔ Key biogas upgrading technologies (Membrane, PSA, Scrubbing)
✔ Commercial viability, ROI (~20% typical benchmark), and revenue streams
✔ Integration with gas grids, transport fuel systems, and LNG infrastructure
✔ Real-world project examples from Europe and global markets
✔ How biomethane complements solar, wind, and hydrogen systems
Why This Matters
Biomethane is emerging as a dispatchable, storable renewable energy source, offering:
- Energy security and reduced fossil fuel dependence
- Waste management solutions for growing urban and agricultural systems
- New revenue streams (energy sales, carbon credits, fertiliser, CO₂ utilisation)
- A critical bridge between waste, energy, and circular economy systems
For emerging markets like Sri Lanka and South Asia, this represents a high-impact opportunity to solve multiple challenges simultaneously.
Key Insights from the Webinar
- Biogas ≠ Biomethane: upgrading is essential for transport and grid use
- Technology selection depends on plant size, CapEx vs OpEx strategy, and feedstock
- Waste is not a liability — it is a distributed energy asset
- Integration pathways include:
- Grid injection
- Compressed gas (CNG) transport
- Liquefied biomethane (LNG equivalent)
