Overview
- Issuance came from Sener’s Subsecretaría de Planeación y Transición Energética through its Directorate of Renewable Energies with accompaniment from Jalisco’s Sedes.
- The permit enables formal integration of locally produced biomethane into the national energy system as part of Mexico’s transition strategy.
- The authorized volume equals the gas use of more than 2,500 homes and is reported to avoid over 8,000 tonnes of CO2 annually by preventing uncontrolled methane release.
- Biomethane will be produced from organic, agroindustrial and livestock waste, supporting a circular economy and yielding byproducts such as biofertilizers.
- Officials say the authorization sets legal and technical precedent for a regulated market with quality, safety and traceability standards that can lessen dependence on imported natural gas.
