WHY IS ASTRAZENECA LEADING BIOMETHANE ADOPTION IN THE UK?
AstraZeneca and Future Biogas launched the UK’ s first unsubsidised biomethane plant in 2025, proving commercial viability through partnerships. Moor Bioenergy supplies renewable gas, cuts emissions and uses carbon capture. A long-term agreement ensures stability and supports decarbonisation. Scaling biomethane further will require supportive policies, particularly recognising grid-injected biomethane as zero-emission.
