bmp Green Gas

What bmp Green Gas does

bmp greengas GmbH is a Munich-based biomethane marketing and green gas services company founded in 2007. The company operates as a B2B intermediary that purchases biomethane from biogas plant operators and resells it to industrial energy consumers, CHP and power plant operators, gas station operators, heat suppliers, and biomethane producers, while providing balancing group management, transport coordination, portfolio management, origin documentation, and THG quota marketing services. bmp greengas is a 100% subsidiary of VNG Handel & Vertrieb GmbH and operates within the EnBW Group, which runs 20 internal biomethane plants feeding into the company's supply portfolio.

The company's core technology is a biomethane trading and portfolio management platform that aggregates a diversified mix of biomethane qualities (varying raw materials, certifications, GHG reduction values, and origins) from production facilities across Europe. bmp greengas handles origin documentation through the dena Biogasregister and the Nabisy fuel-market registry, manages EU-ETS and BEHG carbon cost planning, and distributes biomethane via Virtual Trading Points (VTP) and Physical Withdrawal Points (PAP) across all German gas market areas. The product portfolio has expanded beyond biomethane to green hydrogen, bio-LNG, bio-SNG, and bio-CNG.

bmp greengas generates revenue through trading margins on biomethane purchases and sales, transaction fees on THG quota aggregation and transfer, and service fees for balancing group management, transport coordination, and certification documentation under SURE, REDcert, and ISCC schemes. The company pursues a sales-led, event-driven go-to-market targeting industrial customers across glass, food, pharmaceuticals, automotive, paper, steel, and chemicals. Following a self-administered insolvency proceeding initiated in June 2023 and resolved in March 2024, the company has resumed operations under continued parent support, renewed its managing-directorship with a new CEO appointed in June 2026, and is pursuing geographic expansion including entry into Poland via a partnership with HANDEN announced in September 2025.

Revenue model

1. Biomethane Trading and Marketing: bmp greengas purchases biomethane from producers (biogas plant operators) and resells it to industrial consumers, energy suppliers, and mobility operators. Revenue is generated through the margin between purchase and sale prices, with volumes backed by long-term supply agreements with producers.
2. THG Quota Marketing: Marketing of the Treibhausgasminderungsquote (GHG reduction quota) generated when biomethane, natural gas, or electricity is dispensed as fuel. bmp greengas guarantees complete uptake and a fixed price to gas station operators and energy suppliers, bundles the quotas, and transfers them to obligated companies (mineral oil corporations). Revenue comes from the spread on quota aggregation and sale.
3. Balancing Group Management: Management of virtual balancing groups for biogas and biomethane plant operators who must balance their injection and withdrawal positions. bmp greengas handles the commercial settlement and regulatory reporting, charging service fees for balancing group administration.
4. Transport Management: Coordination of biomethane transportation from injection points to desired withdrawal points, leveraging specialized logistics expertise to manage transport cost-effectively.
5. Origin and Sustainability Documentation: Provision of origin documentation services in the dena Biogasregister (for electricity and heating markets) and the Nabisy system (for the fuel market), as well as certification under REDcert, SURE, and ISCC standards. Revenue is generated through documentation and certification service fees.

Core offering

bmp greengas purchases biomethane from biogas and biomethane plant operators across Europe and resells it to industrial energy consumers, energy suppliers, CHP plant operators, gas station operators, and district heating providers. In addition to physical biomethane marketing (biomethane, green hydrogen, bio-LNG, bio-SNG), the company provides operational services including balancing group management, portfolio management, transport management, origin and sustainability documentation (dena Biogasregister, Nabisy, REDcert, SURE, ISCC), and THG quota marketing for the fuel sector.

Product overview

bmp greengas is a green gases company offering a portfolio of renewable energy products centered on biomethane, green hydrogen, bio-LNG, and bio-SNG. The company operates as both a product provider and service organization: it markets biomethane and other green gases across power, heat, fuel, and industrial applications, while also providing a suite of operational services including balancing group management, portfolio management, proof of origin documentation, transport management, consulting, and THG quota marketing. Additionally, the company offers SURE certification support through its fit4SURE service. The portfolio is delivered primarily through the existing European gas grid infrastructure, enabling decoupling of production and consumption locations. The company also operates internal sustainability initiatives including the Bergwaldprojekt tree-planting program, insect hotel construction, and alpine pasture management.
