GasNet connects Czech biomethane plant in Mladá Boleslav to its network

The biomethane plant in Mladá Boleslav has begun supplying households with the first volumes of renewable biomethane. It has been connected to the distribution network by GasNet, the Czech Republic’s largest gas distributor. The site of the biogas plant, operated by COMPAG Mladá Boleslav, also has a compressed biomethane filling station for vehicles. It is the first biomethane plant to supply gas both to the distribution network and to the clean mobility sector.

The biogas plant in Mladá Boleslav has begun supplying renewable biomethane to GasNet’s public distribution network. The gas is produced here from plant and animal waste or food leftovers. For now, the plant is expected to produce 300 m³ of biomethane per hour.

“We are continuing to increase the share of this renewable gas in our distribution network. Mladá Boleslav is now the fourth biomethane plant to supply gas to our network. Biomethane strengthens the Czech Republic’s energy independence and goes hand in hand with support for a sustainable economy—food leftovers and biowaste are used down to the last crumb. The gas produced this way can be used to cook another meal or heat our homes,” says Andrej Prno, who is responsible for connecting plants at GasNet.
