The German energy company Uniper and the Spanish developer Five Bioenergy have signed a seven-year biomethane purchase agreement from three of Spain’s largest biomethane plants, which are located in Murcia, Spain. Deliveries are expected to start at the beginning of 2027.

This agreement places Uniper in a strong position to complement the growing share of renewables with low-carbon energy sources and to accelerate the decarbonisation of both road and maritime sectors. It is a significant milestone in the ongoing commitment to delivering reliable, sustainable energy to customers across Europe. To support the import of renewable and low-carbon gases, Uniper is expanding its portfolio accordingly. Next to hydrogen and its derivates biomethane plays a crucial role in achieving a sustainable energy mix.

“We are very proud to partner with Spanish biomethane developer Five Bioenergy. The supply agreement underscores our ambition to expand and diversify our low-carbon energy portfolio. By sourcing high-quality biomethane, we are not only strengthening our supply sources but also advancing the decarbonisation of our operations. We look forward to a productive and innovative partnership with Five Bioenergy, and to realising new low-carbon opportunities together that will help to create a cleaner and more resilient energy future,” said Carsten Poppinga, CCO Uniper.

The agreement with Uniper represents a major milestone for Five Bioenergy, solidifying its role as a leading developer of large scale biomethane projects in Europe. This long-term partnership underscores Five Bioenergy’s commitment to advancing innovative, sustainable energy solutions.

“This collaboration with Uniper validates our strategy of merging technology with industrial scale production. It secures a stable market for our biomethane while reinforcing our vision of a decarbonised Europe powered by renewable energy. Far more than a commercial deal, this partnership is a decisive catalyst for accelerating the energy transition and advancing a circular economy,” added Ivan Copin, CIO at Five Bioenergy.
