Together, let’s combine our skills and resources to build sustainable biomethane plants.
At SWING Biomethane we develop, finance, build and operate facilities to produce biomethane in Europe, in partnership with all project developers.
Our added value
SWING Biomethane is integrated across the whole project lifecycle, as developer, investor, operator and biomethane producer.
As developer, we participate to projects origination, by identifying locations and feedstocks. We then lead projects design and permitting, offtake and financing structuration, thanks to our technical capabilities and our knowledge of the biomethane market.
As investor, we structure and finance the construction of our projects leveraging debt and equity financing.
As operator, we participate to projects operations and asset management: technical supervision of plants operations, management of feedstock, digestate and contracts, QHSE expertise, public relations.
As biomethane producer, we manage the sale of the biomethane produced in our plants.
BIOMETHANE
Agriculture residues and organic residues ⇒ Biogas + Organic fertilizer
The biogas produced by SWING Biomethane is purified and upgraded into biomethane. Biomethane is equivalent to the natural gas used every day by households or industries.
The Biomethane can be either injected into the gas grid or liquefied into BioLNG for the transportation sector.
The European Union has implemented ambitious targets to increase the production of biomethane in Europe as a way to decarbonize the gas sector.
OUR TEAM

SUSTAINABILITY
We integrate ESG criteria in our projects and operations to propose local and sustainable solutions.
Sustainable feedstocks
We carefully source and select the organic residues that we turn into sustainable energy. Our feedstocks are :
- Residues of agriculture or farming
- Compliant with the EU Red II directive
- Not used for food/feed production
Sustainable fertilizers
We provide farmers with a sustainable fertilizer derived from the production of biomethane (the digestate). It helps reducing their dependance on fossil fertilizers and it contributes to GHG emissions reduction targets in Europe
Local communities
We partner with local farmers to collect and transfom their organic wastes and residues. We work with local companies to build the plants and we create local jobs for the operations
