As a broker for sustainable energy sources, we see it as our responsibility to make this market more efficient, transparent and accessible. Knowledge of the current market situation, regulatory changes and new challenges facing market participants is our top priority. We are convinced that this is the basis to optimise customer results. Therefore our brokerage approach is divided into the 3 phases "Market Insights", "Market Fit" and "Realisation".

Market strategy

Successful biomethane commercialization requires selecting a trading structure that is optimally tailored to your specific circumstances and preferences. Attached is an overview of the key options available for commercialization

Ci-Score and feedstocks: The feedstocks used and other measures, such as CO2 capture, determine the Ci-Score and thus the quality of the biomethane. Typically, these range from +20 gCO2/MJ (waste-based feedstocks) to < – 100 gCO2/MJ (manure).

Markets: Strongly negative Ci-Scores are particularly in demand in markets driven by pure CO2 reduction targets (e.g., the German fuel market or the EU shipping sector). Waste-based biomethane with Ci-Scores between 0 and 20 gCO2/MJ are primarily used in volume-based quota markets (e.g., the British transport sector).

Fix price: A total price for Proof of Sustainability + physical gas

Index: Fixed price for the Proof of Sustainability + indexed gas price (e.g., THE, TTF)

Volume flexibility: A full-offtake or a fixed annual delivery volume with a volume flexibility of 10–15%

Spot: Sale of already-produced volumes at the current market price with direct delivery, for example, to align with the average market price over the long term.

Forward: Sales of volumes 1 to 2 years in advance, with delivery in the year of production, in order to e.g. mitigate market price risks on the spot market.

  • Long-term sales of biomethane, for example for new biomethane projects, to secure financing.
  • Initiate BPA negotiations with potential buyers and define key structural parameters.
  • Drafting and finalizing the term sheet, followed by its conversion into a long-term biomethane purchase agreement.
  • Contract term of up to 10 years.
  • A fixed price for the entire term or an indexed pricing structure with a fixed price for the Proof of Sustainability.

Tolling: The biomethane supplier pays a fee to the CNG/LNG station operator for putting the biomethane on the market and, in return, receives 100% of the thg-quota generated.

THG-quota share: The biomethane supplier receives a fixed percentage of the THG-quota revenue and, in return, supplies the gas station operator with biomethane.

Market prices

The biomethane market has experienced great dynamics in recent years. Since regulatory requirements and quality standards have a significant impact on the target market and pricing, a nuanced analysis is essential. Attached is an overview of spot market prices for German production volumes

Calculation tools

The German transport sector currently offers one of the best sales opportunities for biomethane derived from manure and for e-methane through the THG-quota. Attached is a tool for calculating savings and revenues resulting from the sale of biomethane. In addition, an RFNBO sub-quota has been in effect since 2026, which can be met, for example, by selling e-methane (see RFNBO calculator)

Our Approach

Market Insights

Transparent market situation

Based on individual customer requirements, we use real-time market information to select the appropriate brokerage approach and tailor it to the customer's needs. The right brokerage approach is important in order to take advantage of the current market dynamics.

Current price level

The given price level in the different markets sets the decisive framework conditions for the choice of brokerage approach and may lead to a joint optimisation of customer requirements.

Regulatory requirements

In particular, the constantly changing regulatory aspects at national and EU level leads to a highly dynamic market. A deep understanding and knowledge of upcoming changes is the basic prerequisite for us to be able to fully assess the market situation.

Market Fit

International network

The search for the optimal partner on the market is initiated on the basis of the validated customer requirements and approach, which may have been optimised for the market. The national and international network of greenfuelpartners enables broad access to the market. 

Fast matching

Thanks to our continuous activity in the market and the system-supported creation of forecasts, we are able to recognise current market requirements. In this way, we ensure fast matching to the customer requirements. 

Individual requirements

When buying and selling energy sources or certificates, the focus is initially on volume, price and delivery conditions. However, the other parameters should not be neglected either. These can include quality standards (e.g. ISCC/REDcert), CI score, origin, feedstock used and others. 

Execution

Efficient processing

Through a standardised and proven process, we create an efficient procedure for handling the deal between seller and buyer. We support the creation and finalisation of delivery conditions and guarantee immediate and permanent availability.

Continuous support

During the processing period, we ensure that all parties comply with the contractually agreed conditions, such as delivery terms or product quality. Any content-related ambiguities, collaborative or communicative complications are taken on board to find a fast solution.

Secured success

The successful realisation of customer requirements is our top priority. We are convinced of our added value, which is why we only charge for our services when the product has been finalised and paid for by the seller and buyer.
