Biomethane Purchase Agreement Playbook: Unlocking biomethane’s full potential
16.09.2026Biomethane Purchase Agreements (BPAs) are emerging as a key instrument for accelerating the growth of Europe’s biomethane market. By enabling offtakers to secure a reliable, long-term supply of renewable gas, BPAs provide producers with the revenue certainty needed to finance and develop new biomethane facilities. They can also help unlock investment in markets where production support schemes are limited or unavailable, creating new opportunities for market-driven growth.
To support the development of this evolving market, the European Biogas Association has published the Biomethane Purchase Agreement Playbook, a report by Guidehouse commissioned by EBA.
The publication offers practical guidance, market insights and strategic recommendations for producers, offtakers and financiers looking to successfully structure and implement BPAs.
The Playbook takes readers through every stage of the BPA journey, covering key topics such as market fundamentals, commercial structuring, contractual considerations and project financing. Across eight chapters, it provides a comprehensive overview of:
- Introduction to Biomethane Purchase Agreements
- Key drivers for establishing a BPA
- European biomethane market overview
- Setting up a BPA
- Commercial and delivery structures
- Contractual terms and considerations
- Financing biomethane projects
Whether you are a biomethane producer, energy buyer, investor or financial institution, the Biomethane Purchase Agreement Playbook provides the knowledge and practical tools needed to navigate the BPA landscape and support the scale-up of biomethane production across Europe.
