13th April 2016 100green (then Green Energy UK) has become the first company in the UK energy market to only supply renewable green gas to its residential and business customers. At no extra cost to its customers, 100Green is the first UK energy company to supply 100% green energy - renewable electricity and renewable green gas.
Doug Stewart, Chief Executive of 100Green said: “Supplying 100% renewable gas and electricity has always been an ambition for Green Energy UK and I’m delighted that we are the first energy supplier in the UK to offer green gas to our existing and new customers. Indeed, since we started offering duel fuel electricity and gas in 2014, many of our customers have been asking us to supply 100% green gas and so I’m delighted that we are now able to do so.”
“It is good news for our customers and green gas producers across the country. We are also doing our bit for the environment by not relying on fossil fuels for our energy supplies.”
The renewable green gas that 100Green is supplying its customers with is biomethane; it is produced from anaerobic digestion plants across the country using biodegradable matter such as food waste, sewage, and residues from food manufacture.
Until now, 100Green had supplied its customers with a mixture of conventional natural gas and renewable green gas but it can now offer its customers green gas and sustainable electricity as standard and at no extra cost. 100Green’s dual fuel standard variable tariff is cheaper than British Gas, the UK’s biggest energy supplier.
