MOL opens first biomethane plant in Szarvas, Hungary

MOL Group inaugurated its first biomethane plant in Szarvas, Hungary, on October 14, 2026, with an investment of more than HUF 2.7 billion (about $8.3 million).

The facility can produce biomethane from biogas at a purity suitable for injection into the national natural gas network.

The plant processes more than 40,000 metric tons/year of waste from the region's meat industry, plus an additional 53,000 metric tons/year of residual waste from neighboring livestock and meat-processing facilities.

About 18,000 metric tons/year of agricultural substrate is also used as feedstock for biogas production.

The project supports MOL's diversification into low-carbon energy and waste valorization.
