CNG Services Ltd provides expert and up to the minute independent design, consultancy and project management services for all your biomethane and biogas project requirements. We are experts in the financial incentives available for renewable methane used to generate electricity, as a vehicle fuel or for injection into the gas grid. With an in-depth knowledge of the regulatory requirements and technologies of biomethane production we can ensure a smooth transition from drawing board to commissioning.

The Biogas System
Connecting to the Gas Grid
As part of our support to potential biomethane projects we have now obtained access to all gas Grid Network Maps owned by National Grid, Wales & West Utilities, Northern Gas Networks and Scotia Gas Networks (including Southern Gas Networks).
With access to these Gas Grid Maps we are now offering a service to assist clients with assessing land to determine if there are any gas pipelines in the area. We will provide Satellite view maps, supported with the same image on a Gas Grid Map, showing the closest connections and type of pressure Gas Mains in the area of interest.
Once connection points have been identified, as an additional service we can progress the query directly with the Grid owners for confirmation of pipeline capacity to ensure your project has the opportunity to go down the biomethane route.
