Future Biogas

Our role

Our Energy and Infrastructure Finance UK team has acted as Mandated Lead Arranger for the refinancing of Future Biogas, a pioneering UK biogas platform owned by 3i Infrastructure plc and RWE.

The transaction further demonstrates our Energy & Infrastructure team's leadership in financing biogas / biomethane transactions across the UK and Europe. In addition to the financing – which includes a Term Loan, Capex Facility and Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) - we also provided interest rate hedging solutions.

About Future Biogas

Future Biogas is one of the largest anaerobic digestion (“AD”) owner /operator platforms in the UK. Across the 12 sites it operates, Future Biogas produces approximately 700 GWh of biomethane annually.

It is now working to reshape the biogas industry with its unsubsidised offering, helping to decarbonise both agriculture and industry using sustainably grown inputs. In February 2025 the Company completed the UK’s first unsubsidised industrial scale biomethane plant. The site, at Gonerby Moor in Lincolnshire, has a long-term gas offtake agreement with AstraZeneca UK to supply 100GWh of renewable energy per annum – equivalent to 20% of its total global gas consumption.
