Biogas in Spain: turning waste into energy requires specialised talent

February 23, 2026

Biogas is accelerating as a lever for the energy transition

Spain is strengthening its commitment to biogas as a solution capable of turning waste into energy and supporting a more stable energy transition. As market interest grows, the sector is attracting investment and gaining momentum as a complementary pathway within the renewable energy ecosystem.

This progress does not depend only on technology or financing. It requires highly specialised operational and management capabilities to turn complex projects into efficient and sustainable energy assets.

Investment, scale and new execution challenges

The investor push is a clear signal: biogas is becoming a sector with strong potential. However, scaling up introduces relevant challenges: coordinating multiple stakeholders, technical planning, regulatory compliance, process optimisation and efficiency management.

In this environment, the difference between resilient growth and fragile growth is largely explained by access to specialised talent.

Critical talent to coordinate and optimise projects

As highlighted by Carlota Pérez Marina, Head of Energy at Catenon, the sector needs experts who can coordinate and optimise these projects. Profiles with experience in technical management, planning, stakeholder coordination and operational efficiency become decisive.

The challenge is not only attracting talent, but ensuring the capabilities brought in match the real complexity of the project lifecycle.

Competitiveness built on people

The energy transition requires infrastructure and also prepared teams. In biogas, the quality of available talent shapes execution speed, project robustness and long-term sustainability.

A strategic reflection on why specialised talent is the decisive factor for scaling biogas in Spain.
