According to Biogas-E, the number of biomethane plants in Flanders rose from six to twelve in 2025, mainly through conversion of existing biogas units; biomethane production reached 186 GWh.

The 133 operating biogas plants (84 large and 49 small) produced 691 GWh of green electricity and 811 GWh of green heat, i.e. 6% and 8% of the green electricity and heat produced in Flanders.

The platform calls for a stable framework beyond 2030, access to the European market for green-gas guarantees of origin and more local demand. These figures come from the Biogas-E press release; the full report is reserved for members.
