January 21, 2026. ENGIE, a leading global energy transition utility, has announced a 10-year biomethane purchase agreement (BPA) with PepsiCo UK, helping the business progress further towards its decarbonization ambitions.
The BPA – the first of its kind for the UK food and drink industry and a first for PepsiCo across EMEA – will see ENGIE build a new anaerobic digestion (AD) plant and increase its portfolio of biomethane plants in the country, delivering more homegrown green gas and supporting efficient decarbonization of UK industry.
Under the unique agreement, which begins in 2027, 60 GWh of biomethane will be generated via a mass balance approach to help decarbonize PepsiCo UK’s supply chain on an annual basis, equivalent to the gas consumption of 5,000 homes. The move is anticipated to help reduce PepsiCo UK’s emissions by over 10,900 tonnes a year.
ENGIE already injects over 210 GWh of biomethane per year into the UK gas network from its 4 operational AD plants located in the southwest of England and supplies business customers who want to decarbonize with a suite of tailored green gas solutions from its Supply and Energy Management business.
Lord Whitehead, Minister for Energy Security and Net Zero, said: “This £70 million investment in clean energy will drive growth across the North of England. Biomethane production and partnerships between companies such as ENGIE and PepsiCo show that industry is backing this government’s mission for clean, homegrown energy.”
