EBA-GIE shows you nouns. InfraValue gives you verbs.

There is no shortage of places to find a list of UK biomethane plants. Trade directories and sector databases will tell you a plant exists, roughly where it is, and roughly how big it is. That is useful — and it is also where they stop.

A list is a noun

A directory is a set of nouns: plant, operator, capacity, postcode. It is a static snapshot. For an analyst screening the sector for a deal, the noun is the easy part — the hard, valuable part is everything the directory leaves out: who ultimately controls the plant through its ownership chain, whether that owner is showing signs of distress, whether secured debt was just registered against it, and how long its subsidy has left.

A deal is a verb

Acquisitions, refinancings and disposals are verbs — they are events, movements, changes of state. They show up first in the public record: a change in persons with significant control at Companies House, a new charge registered against an SPV, an administration notice in The Gazette, a plant's status changing in the planning database. Read continuously and joined to the right asset, these events tell you who is moving before it reaches the trade press.

The gap is the product

InfraValue starts from the same universe of plants any directory would — and then maps each one to its registered owner group via Companies House PSC data, watches the public registers for distress and control changes, and tracks the subsidy cliff year by year. The output is not a bigger list. It is a workflow: who owns what, who is under pressure, and what is moving in the market — every figure traceable to a public source.
