During October, we received the exciting confirmation that our first Green Gas Support Scheme (GGSS) application had been approved by Ofgem. In fact, it was one of the first GGSS applications to be accredited!

The scheme provides tariff support for plants producing biomethane via anaerobic digestion which is injected into the gas grid. 

The approval of this Stage 3 application is a major milestone since the scheme launched in November 2021 and will provide this newly commissioned site with a guaranteed tariff for each kWh of biomethane they inject onto the grid, for the next 15 years. Tariffs are designed to compensate sites for the building of new infrastructure and ongoing operation costs.

Located in the South of England, this ‘gas to grid’ site will produce around 5 million meters cubes of renewable green gas each year.  Its operation will contribute to carbon emissions savings by reducing the emissions intensity of the UK’s natural gas supply, as well as reducing emissions from waste.

If you’re thinking about investing in an Anaerobic Digestion gas-to-grid facility, or maybe you have started constructing one, and would like support with a Green Gas Support Scheme application, give us a call. We have extensive experience in this sector, and an in-depth understanding of the rules and regulations, the applications process, and ongoing compliance and greenhouse gas calculations.

The scheme remains open for applications until 30 November 2025. For further information, please refer to our previous blog Green Gas Support Scheme (GGSS) | NFU Energy.
