Problem
Industrial buyers subject to the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) face rising compliance costs and need reliable access to renewable gas to reduce their carbon footprint. Biomethane producers, especially those with plants above 250 Smc/h, are required to sell their gas and Guarantees of Origin (GO) directly to final buyers, yet the market remains fragmented, opaque, and difficult to navigate without specialized intermediaries.
Solution
BioMatch is a digital marketplace that connects biomethane producers with industrial buyers, enabling transparent and efficient bilateral purchase agreements. Producers can register their plants, publish sales announcements for biomethane and Guarantees of Origin, and receive qualified interest from multiple potential buyers. Industrial buyers can explore available listings, express interest, and directly negotiate contracts with producers. The platform provides pre-qualified matchmaking and ready-to-use bilateral contract templates, streamlining the entire transaction process. BioMatch operates within the DM Biometano 2022 regulatory framework, ensuring compliance and clarity for both parties. For hard-to-abate industrial sectors, the platform supports the zero-price GO mechanism defined by Art. 5-bis DL Agricoltura, where the value of Guarantees of Origin is integrated into the producer's incentive tariff.
Target Audience
Primary users are biomethane producers operating plants above 250 Smc/h and industrial companies subject to ETS obligations, particularly hard-to-abate sectors seeking renewable gas to reduce emissions and compliance costs.
