About

Founded in 2009, Landwärme GmbH is a private company headquartered in Munich, Germany with approximately 51-200 employees specializing in Biogas.

Landwärme GmbH is one of Europe's leading independent biomethane suppliers and traders. Since its founding in 2009, the company has connected biogas production with biomethane utilization across multiple sectors including power, heat, and transport. Landwärme supplies hundreds of municipal utility companies and energy providers. The company offers comprehensive services spanning biomethane production consultation, certification, transport, liquefaction to Bio-LNG, carbon capture, and greenhouse gas quota trading. As a pioneer in carbon removal with bioenergy, Landwärme couples biomethane generation with CO2 capture and storage to enable negative emissions. The company operates at four locations (Munich, Berlin, Dortmund, Budapest) with approximately 140 employees. In August 2024, Landwärme entered self-administration proceedings due to market fraud affecting the greenhouse gas quota market; management was taken over by Anew Climate for contract fulfillment.
