Service
Supplier management for biomethane.
Between plant, grid operator, supplier and offtaker sit registrations, contracts, data flows and settlement. We handle the processes for you in the market role of supplier/shipper.
What matters
Supplier duties are the underestimated part of the business.
- Starting point: The supplier role means registration and reporting duties, AS4 communication, grid registration, network charges and settlement — in full, even for small volumes.The bikosigma answer: Complete handover of operational supplier processes, including registration and reporting.
- Starting point: Contracts, volumes and certificates sit in separate systems or with different parties and are not aligned with each other.The bikosigma answer: Contracts, volumes and certificates are consolidated in biport and reconciled continuously.
- Starting point: Settlement differences only surface months later and lead to high back charges and knock-on problems for the biomethane portfolio.The bikosigma answer: Ongoing volume and settlement control instead of an annual surprise.
- Starting point: Every change of offtaker requires setting up processes again.The bikosigma answer: Standardised onboarding of new offtakers and suppliers.
