MOL Group Plc. inaugurated its first biomethane plant in Szarvas, Hungary, on October 14, 2026. The investment totaled more than HUF 2.7 billion, around $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 per year of waste from the region's meat industry, plus an additional 53,000 metric tons per year of residual waste sourced from neighboring livestock and meat-processing facilities. About 18,000 metric tons of agricultural substrate is also used as feedstock for biogas production.
The project was reported in Chemical Engineering's November 2026 business news roundup of plant projects.
