Biogas: Canada. Taurus Canada Renewable Natural Gas Corp. was awarded $10 million in funding through the Government of Alberta’s Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction program to construct a fully integrated anaerobic digestion and carbon sequestration facility that will produce natural gas exclusively from livestock manure in partnership with with KCL Cattle Company and Kasko Cattle Co. The project involves using a natural decomposition process to break down the manure and produce bio-methane. The result of the process is drop-in clean energy – Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) – which will be injected directly into the natural gas pipeline. Link 09/03/2026.

Biogas: Italy Andion CH4 Renewables closed a €24 million project financing to fund the construction of its fully permitted biomethane production plant in Mirandola (Modena), Emilia-Romagna. The Mirandola plant, which is under construction, is being developed under Italy’s DM 2022 biomethane incentive scheme and will produce liquefied biomethane (LBG) from agricultural waste using anaerobic digestion technology. The facility will have a maximum annual production capacity of approximately 44 GWh (c. 3,000 tons of LBG) and will process more than 70,000 tons of manure-based feedstock. Link 09/03/2026.

Hydrogen: Italy. Italian natural gas infrastructure firm Snam is to invest €200m ($231.7m) by 2030 to develop a hydrogen pipeline backbone. The funding forms part of the firm’s €14bn ($16.2bn) 2026–2030 investment plan, which also includes spending on energy efficiency, biomethane, carbon capture, as well as expansion and upgrades to fossil fuel infrastructure. The project would establish a 1,900km hydrogen transportation network – around 60% converted natural gas infrastructure – across Italy. Link 09/03/2026.

Hydrogen: Norway. Hexagon Purus has secured a €6.2m ($7.2m) order for its hydrogen distribution units to support Central European refuelling. The purchase order for its hydrogen distribution trailers using Type 4 cylinders came from a “leading Central European integrated energy company. Available in sizes from 10ft to 45ft, Hexagon says its distribution units can supply hydrogen to industrial sites and hydrogen refuelling stations. Link 09/03/2026.
