Latvia's gas transmission and storage system operator AS 'Conexus Baltic Grid' (Conexus) has announced plans to build two new biomethane entry points. The project aims to enhance energy security and self-sufficiency by integrating renewable gas into the national grid.
According to Conexus, the new infrastructure will allow biomethane producers to inject gas directly into the transmission system. The locations and timeline for construction have not yet been disclosed, but the initiative is part of Latvia's broader strategy to reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels.
Biomethane, produced from organic waste, is a renewable alternative to natural gas. Latvia has significant potential for biomethane production, and this investment is expected to support the country's climate goals. The European Union has set targets for renewable energy, and biomethane is seen as a key component.
Conexus has not provided specific cost estimates or completion dates. Further details are expected as the project progresses.
