BtG is the process whereby renewable gas is injected into the UK’s gas grid, giving the UK a highly flexible and efficient source of green, sustainable energy made from organic material include food waste.

John Baldwin, CNG Services founder and managing director said: “The growth experienced in 2014 has continued with a total of 47 new projects in the last two years, the highest level of growth of any gas market in the world”

“Biomethane is a highly flexible renewable fuel as it utilises the extensive and valuable UK gas grid to provide energy both for gas central heating and also to fuel supermarket distribution trucks”

“Companies are appreciating the role that this 'green gas' can play in the long term energy future of the UK and, with ongoing government support from DECC, we expect the BtG sector to maintain a high level of project development.”

Baldwin continues: “Growth of BtG has been spectacular. In 2012 around 300,000 therms of biomethane were injected into the gas grid but by mid-2016, when all the completed projects are at full capacity there will be around 120 million therms/annum going into to grid. That will bring annual green gas production to 3.5TWh per year. Put another way, that's around 240,000 tonnes of LNG that the UK won't have to be importing from the Middle East or four 60,000 tonne LNG tankers not needing to dock at our ports."
