Biogas is produced from manure, sludge and other organic waste. After ‘upgrading’, biogas can be blended as biomethane into the natural gas network. Discover how this works.

If your organization works with gases, it may be important to know their calorific value or Wobbe Index. In addition, it's crucial that the gas does not contain harmful trace components. At Kiwa, you can rely on expert analysis of a wide range of gas properties: volume, quality, (main) components, higher hydrocarbons, aromatic hydrocarbons, halogenated hydrocarbons, sulfur compounds (such as H₂S), siloxanes and THT odorization.
Leaks in bio methane or biogas installations can’t only lead to dangerous situations but also pose a threat to the environment. Additionally, leaking gas represents a direct financial loss. That’s why it is crucial to detect and repair leaks and vulnerable areas in green gas and biogas systems as quickly as possible. Kiwa can assist with this by conducting camera inspections using an advanced gas imaging camera.
Natural gas, hydrogen gas and many other gases are naturally odorless. This can cause dangerous situations, for example if a leak or other incident occurs. Gases that are distributed via the Dutch gas network must therefore be scented with a so-called odorant.

Water boards treat vast amounts of wastewater daily, leaving behind sewage sludge. This sludge presents an opportunity to contribute to the energy transition by digesting it into biogas, which can then be upgraded to green gas. By doing so, water boards can make their energy supply more sustainable and play a circular role in the energy market.
Waste processors play a key role in the circular economy. By converting organic waste into green gas, you can contribute to the energy transition while making your operations more sustainable. Additionally, green gas provides an extra revenue stream and helps optimize the use of residual waste.
Green gas is playing an increasingly important role in the Dutch energy transition. The government is actively promoting a mix of renewable energy sources, including wind, solar and green gas. The goal is to produce two billion cubic meters (BCM) of green gas annually in the Netherlands from 2030 onwards. Let’s dive deeper into the trends, developments, and opportunities.
Converting manure into green gas can help address manure surpluses, reduce methane and nitrogen emissions and generate an additional source of income. But how does this work in practice?
