We make Europe’s Gas Green
Landwärme is a pioneer in the biomethane sector. Our wealth of experience enables us to identify what moves the market. We have helped actively shape the market as an independent and owner-managed company since 2007. From then on, we have built up a reputation as a biomethane trader, service provider, consultant, and reliable partner for the whole of Europe in the field of biomethane.
We supply hundreds of energy providers and public utilities with biomethane for use in the power, heat and transport sector – whether as biogas for your heating customers, fuel for your CNG and LNG stations or in order to generate renewable electricity and heating in your CHP plants. As a trader, we supply the biomethane quality that’s right for you.
In our capacity as service provider, we can give you comprehensive advice along the entire value chain – be it on biomethane production, transportation, claims for remuneration or greenhouse gas quotas.
Numerous biomethane producers, energy providers, operators of CNG and LNG filling stations and CHP plants already place their trust in Landwärme.

LANDWÄRME CE TRADING KFT.
We make Europe’s gas green. It’s as simple as that. Eastern and Central Europe hold a great deal of untapped potential for biomethane production.
In 2015, we helped to set up the first plant for biomethane production in the Hungarian city of Kaposvár. And our pioneering spirit is as strong now as ever before.
Through the Landwärme office in Budapest we are bolstering the biomethane market in Central and Eastern Europe. We continue to strengthen the connection between Eastern and Western Europe every single day.
