WERO Insight #3 – Legislation: RED III as a Game-Changer for Biomethane Investment
The European Union is significantly strengthening the role of renewable gases in the energy transition. The RED III directive (Renewable Energy Directive III), adopted in 2023, marks a turning point for biomethane and other renewable gases by providing a stable legal and economic framework to support their integration into Europe’s energy mix.
Member states are now required to include renewable gases in their national energy and climate plans. This makes biomethane not just an option – but a strategic component of Europe’s path to energy independence and decarbonization.
Gas distribution networks must allow the injection of biomethane into their infrastructure, provided technical conditions are met. This opens up the market for widespread biomethane integration without burdensome permitting hurdles.
RED III lays the foundation for long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), which are essential for financing renewable energy projects. PPAs ensure predictable cash flows, benefiting both producers and investors.
A reliable legal framework is fundamental for capital allocation. In times of volatility and policy uncertainty, RED III offers:
✔️ Greater investment security and transparency ✔️ Improved access to financing ✔️ Enhanced project bankability and long-term value
At WERO Investment Group, we don’t just welcome RED III – we’ve been preparing for it. Our strategy is built on three pillars:
- Acquiring biogas plants with biomethane potential
- Upgrading facilities for gas grid injection
- Structuring high-yield SPVs ready for Qualified Investor Funds
RED III validates our direction – and accelerates our rollout of new infrastructure across Central Europe.
Legislation isn’t just bureaucracy – it’s the engine that drives capital flows. Those who understand these rules early gain a long-term edge. That’s why WERO Insight exists – to give investors, partners, and experts a front-row view of the evolving energy landscape.
