Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners invests in Italian biomethane platform Via Verde
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) is entering the Italian biomethane market through its investment in the Via Verde platform. The deal includes a development pipeline of 20 biomethane projects.
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP) has invested in Via Verde, an Italian platform focused on biomethane production. This marks the firm's entry into the Italian biomethane sector and provides CIP with control over a development pipeline comprising 20 biomethane projects.
Via Verde aims to convert waste and agricultural by-products into biomethane, which can then be fed into the national gas grid. The initiative seeks to boost local renewable gas production and advance the circular economy within Italy.
The investment aligns with CIP's broader strategy to expand its renewable energy portfolio across Europe. The firm has previously engaged in investments related to biogas and other bioenergy projects in various European countries.
These planned projects are expected to contribute significantly to the supply of renewable gas, thereby reducing reliance on fossil fuels and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.
