Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP), through its CI Advanced Bioenergy Fund I (CI ABF I), announced the launch of Greengate Biogas in partnership today. The Greengate Biogas consortium, consisting of Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners, Atlas Renewables, and Energex Partners, will develop, construct, and operate biogas plants across Ireland. The biogas plants will utilize manure as feedstock.

CI ABF I, managed by CIP, invests in advanced biofuels, including biomethane. CI ABF I's investors include several of the most significant pension companies in the Nordic countries. Greengate Biogas brings together CI ABF I’s expertise in developing large-scale biogas plants across Europe and the local development team’s expertise within bioenergy and agricultural practices in Ireland.

When fully established, Greengate Biogas will produce nearly 1.8 TWh per year of biomethane across multiple projects, representing approximately 3.5% of Ireland’s current natural gas demand and 30% of Ireland’s 2030 biomethane target established in the recently published biomethane strategy.

This equates to enough gas to heat over 160,000 Irish homes or meet 20% of Irish industrial gas demand. The projects will inject biomethane into the grid and recirculate organic fertilizers for farmers, contributing to Ireland’s circular economy and green transition.

Manure will be the predominant feedstock and will be sourced in close collaboration with over 2,000 livestock farmers nationwide. By implementing anaerobic digestion for improved manure management, Greengate Biogas will also help reduce emissions from the agricultural sector and address nitrate challenges.
