Renewable natural gas facilities
At Prime Reserve Terminal, we see immense potential in renewable natural gas (RNG), which is why we are expanding our operations to include bio-energy plants that will produce significant volumes of biomethane and contribute to advancing the sustainable energy transition.
Leveraging our expertise as an energy infrastructure company, we are entering this rapidly growing and complex industry where we can make a meaningful impact. In the Netherlands, our first RNG facility in Tilburg has already begun injecting gas into the grid and is ramping up to full capacity, with plans for another site in Limburg. In the United Kingdom, we are constructing a new facility in Lincolnshire, and we have also established an office in Poland, where we are actively exploring new opportunities.
Tilburg, the Netherlands
Our facility in Tilburg is set to produce approximately 23 million m³ of biogas annually, which will be utilized to generate RNG and organic fertilizer.
Limburg, the Netherlands
We are moving forward with plans to develop a bio-energy facility at the Zevenellen business park in Leudal.
Lincolnshire, United Kingdom
Once completed, the Glentham Green Energy (GGE) project will generate 60 GWh of renewable natural gas (RNG) annually, providing enough energy to heat over 5,200 homes.
What is RNG and why is it essential to the energy transition?
Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) is a clean energy source derived from organic waste and byproducts. Biomethane, a key component of RNG, can replace conventional natural gas (a fossil fuel) and is compatible with existing gas infrastructure, making it a sustainable alternative.
RNG provides several advantages: it is climate-neutral, contributes to a circular economy by repurposing waste materials, and utilizes current distribution networks.
How is RNG produced?
RNG is produced at specialized facilities that process raw materials or ‘feedstocks’ through a biological process called anaerobic digestion. This process uses bacteria to break down organic matter and convert it into biomethane. Common feedstocks include agricultural waste, food industry byproducts, and animal manure, effectively giving new life to materials such as potato peels, coconut shells, and corn cobs.
After biogas is produced, it undergoes upgrading to remove impurities like carbon dioxide, oxygen, and nitrogen. The result is RNG, with a methane content of at least 90%. This biomethane, or RNG, is then used to replace natural gas in applications such as heating, electricity generation, and transportation.
Additionally, the byproduct of this process, called ‘digestate,’ can be repurposed as organic fertilizer, providing a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel-based fertilizers. These organic fertilizers, rich in minerals, are well-suited for regenerative agriculture practices.

Why Now?
The technology for producing Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) has advanced significantly in recent years. Modern bio-energy plants are now more efficient, and odor pollution has been eliminated, making them increasingly attractive to local communities.
While there are ongoing research efforts to explore future methods of RNG generation, we believe in acting today. The technology, processes, and methods for anaerobic digestion have reached a level where RNG plants are not only commercially viable but also represent a promising business opportunity.
The urgency is further driven by the global need to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, with RNG being recognized as a crucial part of the energy transition. The EU’s RePower 20230 strategy aims for 35 billion cubic meters of biomethane by 2030, while the Netherlands has committed to producing 2 billion cubic meters of “groen gas” (RNG) by the same year. Many other nations are also turning to RNG as a key alternative to natural gas.
Why Prime Reserve Terminal?
Prime Reserve Terminal is aligned with the Strategy 2028, which focuses on accelerating the energy transition. Building on a robust foundation in the energy storage industry, we are expanding and diversifying into new sectors, including RNG.
As we enter the RNG industry, we bring our expertise in oil and gas storage and services. This includes proven capabilities in project development, engineering, and execution. We also leverage our deep knowledge of safety, security, logistics, and stakeholder management – ensuring that complex operations run smoothly and efficiently at every stage.
