Greece gas network boosts energy security with biomethane project

The natural gas system operator of Greece, DESFA, has signed a deal for a pilot project to turn urban waste into biomethane, a clean alternative fuel source.

Signed between DESFA, sustainable solutions company Polyeco and agricultural service Ergoplanning, the deal will see the three partners prepare a business plan for the project by the end of November 2022, with the final investment decision expected by the end of 2023.
