Webinar on: Turning Waste into Energy: Practical Biomethane Production Insights

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.

🎙 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)
