FemoGas S.p.A., an Italian group specializing in biogas production, and Infranity, a leading investment firm in essential infrastructure, announce that they have reached a funding agreement that will support the refinancing and construction of liquid biomethane plants for a total capacity of 0.5 TWh.
Acting as sole lender, Infranity has partnered with FemoGas to provide €145 million in committed financing to Iniziative Biometano S.p.A., an entity 100% owned by FemoGas, with an option to increase it by a further €100 million.
The biomethane generated from these facilities will be commercially available to serve the European road and maritime transport sectors, helping drive sustainable energy adoption across these industries.
Stefano Svegliado, Co-CEO of FemoGas, said, “Thanks to this financing, we will be able to increase the production of liquid biomethane for heavy duty vehicles and maritime transport by funding seven biomethane plants, three of which are already operational, doubling output from the current 0.25 TWh to 0.5 TWh by 2027”
Stefano Bozzetto, Founder and Co-CEO of FemoGas, held, “Overall, these developments will prevent the emission of 400,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per year, equivalent to around 1% of total emissions from the Italian agricultural sector.”
Garbine Unda, Investment Director at Infranity, added, “This is a strategic step in broadening our engagement in the energy transition and are confident that this partnership will drive substantial growth and contribute to a more sustainable future. This transaction underscores Infranity’s capability to execute bilateral agreements and our strong presence in the mid-cap market.”
FemoGas has been assisted by Lazard as sole financial advisor, and Chiomenti as legal advisor. Infranity has been assisted by Ashurst as legal advisor and Rina as technical advisor.
Infranity is an asset management company specializing in sustainable infrastructure investments. With the Generali Group, it manages €12.5 billion of assets under management on behalf of institutional investors as of June 2025.
