Its role Developer
Pretium Renovables is a private Spanish renewable energy company headquartered in Seville, Andalusia. It specializes in the full lifecycle development of biogas and biomethane projects, converting agricultural, livestock, industrial, and municipal organic waste into renewable energy and supporting the circular economy.
The company offers integrated services including feasibility studies and site selection, technical project documentation for permitting and construction, advanced engineering (including FEED), grid connection management for gas and electricity, and strategic consulting. It participates across the value chain from project origination and development through investment and operation, often pursuing co-investment models with institutional and private partners to deliver sustainable local value and returns.
Pretium Renovables operates primarily in Spain, with a strong focus on Andalusia due to its agricultural resources and renewable energy potential. In January 2026, it signed a strategic agreement with Moeve (formerly Cepsa) to develop between four and six biomethane plants, each with an estimated annual production capacity of 60 GWh, prioritizing Andalusia. These projects are expected to avoid significant CO₂ emissions while generating economic and social benefits in rural areas.
Founded recently with a multidisciplinary team experienced in renewables and waste management, the small company (11-50 employees) positions itself as a specialized developer in Spain's growing biomethane sector, contributing to national targets for renewable gas production and decarbonization under frameworks like Moeve's Positive Motion strategy.
