Biomethane Originator – CFP Energy Group

About us

CFP Energy is a leading specialist in carbon and environmental markets, helping large corporate organisations to navigate complex regulatory environments and volatile market conditions.

With 20 years of experience, CFP Energy has built deep expertise across all major compliance carbon markets in Europe, including the EU and UK ETS. Operating from 9 offices across Europe, CFP Energy provides access to environmental markets alongside a broader suite of services across voluntary carbon, biofuels and financial products.

You will identify and develop relationships with biomethane and biogas producers, negotiate offtake agreements and structure supply contracts that create long-term commercial value for CFP. You will assess new opportunities across the market, considering volumes, pricing, feedstock, certification, regulatory requirements and associated risks.

The role will also involve managing relationships throughout the transaction lifecycle and working closely with trading, legal, sustainability and operations teams to ensure supply is effectively structured and delivered. You will have a strong understanding of the value of both physical biomethane and associated Guarantees of Origin (GoOs), including how certification and regulatory frameworks influence commercial opportunities.

This is a commercially focused role with the opportunity to build CFP Energy's biomethane supply portfolio, develop a strong producer network and originate new opportunities across key European markets.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to work effectively across technical and commercial stakeholders.

Desired, but not required experience:

• Existing network of biomethane producers/developers.
• Experience with specific trading platforms or registries (e.g., AIB, national hubs).
• Multilingual capability if operating across European markets.
