UK biomethane — sector dashboard

The live state of the UK grid-injection biomethane sector — coverage against the known universe, fleet output, deal-signal activity, the forward project pipeline, and how fresh each data feed is.

Plants tracked

136

Owner groups

Fleet output (est.)

≈6,235 GWh

Active deal signals

Indicative sector scale ≈ £1.9–3.4bn. The tracked fleet's ≈6,235 GWh/yr of largely-modelled estimated output × the £0.30–0.55m per GWh/yr screening band (anchored to the disclosed JLEN→Future Biogas benchmark ≈£0.40m, Aug 2024).

An order-of-magnitude sense-check across all 136 plants (nameplate output × the screening band), not a valuation. The platform's own bottom-up remaining-life DCF implies a central figure at or below the low end of this range — the gap is a fresh-fleet equity-NAV multiple vs a remaining-life DCF on an older fleet; see the Valuation page.
