The first privately owned injection point on the Spanish gas grid, 100% equity funded by Cycle0 was delivered in partnership with Nedgia, the natural gas distribution unit of Naturgy.
The injection point is the destination of the virtual pipeline, delivered by compressing the renewable gas to create bio-CNG (Bio-Compressed Natural Gas) which is then transported by road to the injection point by tube trailers (a mobile platform consisting of multiple individual cylinders connected in series, with a combined storage capacity of some 20,000 litres).
The gas is then safely decompressed and injected into the gas grid.
This is a pioneering solution to the Spanish biomethane industry’s key challenge – getting access to the grid for remote green gas producers.

GARYC was acquired in 2025 to transform 121,000 tonnes per year of municipal waste into biomethane. This is enough gas to supply the gas needs of approximately 4,000 Spanish homes.
The facility at Albarreal del Tajo in Toledo processes liquid and solid waste from Madrid and neighbouring area and following a planned investment, will be converted to achieve an output of 450 Nm3/hour of biogas and 26 GWh annually of biomethane by 2027.
The biogas produced will be upgraded to biomethane and injected into the Spanish grid through a virtual pipeline.

Developed as a joint project with Toysal, leader in the collection, management and transport of industrial waste in Galicia since 1982.
The 2 companies joined forces to achieve the successful completion of an innovative project for the collection, management and transport of organic waste with the aim of generating biomethane from up to 22,000 tonnes per annum of organic waste.
Combining Toysal’s infrastructure and experience in waste collection and management, and Cycle0 proprietary technology, biogas will be produced and purified to produce 45 GWh of biomethane per year, avoiding approximately 5,000 tonnes of C02 emissions.
Using waste from the area, the plant will increase activity at the Porriño site, generating new jobs and optimising the treatment of waste that will be integrated into the circular economy.

Operational since 2012, the Corte Pila, was acquired by Cycle0 in 2025 and has an installed electrical capacity of 1 MW. At acquisition, it was using 47,000 tonnes per annum of agriculture feedstock (primarily slurry, manure and silage) to produce electricity, but in advanced stages of transition to biomethane production.
When complete, this will enable an average production of 44 GWh per annum of biomethane from mid-2026, for direct injection into a new gas grid injection point also being constructed as part of Cycle0 overall investment plans in Italy.

Using agri by-products to produce renewable natural gas offers a wide range of benefits to farmers and their communities.
Using manure, slurry and crop waste as feedstocks to produce biogas delivers a waste management solution, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and creates a nutrient-rich organic fertiliser, digestate, that supports soil health.
How a biogas plant supports farming
Managing agri by-products such as slurry and manure can be a challenging issue for many farmers. Providing additional storage to meet environmental regulations can be expensive.
Supplying manure and slurry year-round as feedstock for anaerobic digestion (AD) offers a sustainable solution. AD plants take manure and slurry to produce biogas, which is upgraded to biomethane for direct grid injection or liquefied to create fuel for road or marine transport.
Agreeing a long-term contract with an AD facility means no need for slurry and manure storage, access to digestate and potential extra income from land sale or lease. Learn more about the wider benefits of anaerobic digestion in our article.
John Hanrahan John Hanrahan, Limerick and James Manley, Country Manager Ireland Cycle 0.A 400 dairy herd at Hanrahan Farms
Benefits of an AD plant partnership for farmers
With farmers under increasing pressure to balance finances, meet environmental legislation and be good neighbours, becoming a feedstock supplier or building a biogas plant offers a viable solution to all these challenges, one which Hanrahan Farm in Co. Limerick, Ireland decided to pursue.
Hanrahan Farms is a 400-cow dairy farm and pig production unit that has several sustainability solutions in place, including solar panels, protected urea, low emission slurry spreading and the growing of red and white clover.
When Cycle0 and Hanrahan Farm agreed a partnership to build and supply around 90,000 tonnes of cow and pig manure and slurry to a biogas plant, the solution provided an obvious addition to the farm’s existing environmental system.
Capturing the naturally occurring methane from the manure and slurry and converting it into biomethane with an AD plant on the farm will save around 12,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
Hanrahan Farms and Cycle0 partnership overview
Why AD is a good solution for farmers and the environment
Supplying manure, slurry and crop waste to an AD plant to generate renewable natural gas is beneficial to farmers and the environment. This provides a solution to waste management concerns and environmental obligations and produces digestate, a nutrient-rich organic fertiliser.
For Hanrahan Farns, partnering with Cycle0 to provide all its slurry to an AD plant means turning what could be considered waste into a valuable resource.
The benefits that John Hanrahan expects to come from working with Cycle0 could be available to any farmer supplying an AD plant with feedstock.
Providing slurry and manure to an AD plant helps farmers to meet environmental obligations to store or spread slurry and reduces need for slurry storage or transportation.
Using digestate instead of inorganic fertilisers means the use of fewer chemical fertilisers which can cause leeching and run off and supports soil health with the spreading of this nutrient-rich fertiliser.
In addition, the development of AD plants to produce biogas and biomethane creates direct and indirect local jobs during the construction and operation phases of the plant. Read our anaerobic digestion FAQs for more insights.
