Utonomy secures major contract with SGN to boost biomethane feed-in

Utonomy has announced the successful signing of a major contract with SGN, one of the UK's leading gas distribution networks.
The agreement will see the rollout of Utonomy’s advanced remote pressure control solution across SGN’s biomethane network, helping to significantly increase the volume of green gas that can be safely injected into the grid.
This landmark partnership supports the UK’s push towards a lower-carbon future by enabling greater use of renewable biomethane – a key step in reducing reliance on fossil fuels and cutting carbon emissions in the gas network.
Utonomy’s smart grid technology allows for real-time remote control and optimisation of gas pressures at biomethane injection points.
This innovation helps overcome a long-standing challenge in the sector: pressure constraints that often limit how much green gas can be fed into the network.
By automatically adjusting pressure levels in response to real-time conditions, Utonomy’s system maximises grid capacity and unlocks greater efficiency for biomethane producers.
Commenting on the contract, Adam Kingdon, CEO of Utonomy, said: "This is a significant milestone for Utonomy and for the decarbonisation of the UK gas grid. SGN is a forward-thinking network operator, and we’re proud to support their vision for a greener energy future. Our technology will ensure biomethane producers can get more of their green gas into the network, more reliably and efficiently."
The rollout will begin in 2025 and will include full integration of Utonomy’s cloud-based control platform, providing SGN with enhanced operational visibility and control.
SGN’s Director of Energy Futures, Gus McIntosh, added: "We’re delighted to be working with Utonomy to support our commitment to net zero. Smart pressure control is a key enabler in allowing more green gas to enter the grid, and this partnership ensures we’re making the most of the renewable gas already being produced."
