He recently has a study conducted into the current situation of the biomethane market in Europe. The report offers an overview of this renewable gas in Europe, together with a detailed analysis at country level, of the 23 members of the European Union.
Clean industrial deal is The Bold Europe plans to support the sustainable growth of the communityThat the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, is crucial to declare the EU economy, while retaining the competitiveness.
Biomethane: Another alternative
Coinciding with the first communication by the European Commission of the clean industrial pact (Clean industrial deal), Project the four European horizon within the cluster of the Biomethane Biomethaverse, Hyfuelup, Methren and Sempre-Bio recently presented the most important conclusions of a webinar on a webinar Your second joint reporttitled ‘State of playing biogas and biomethane in Europe ‘who analyzes the Gagas market locations and Biomethane In Europe and proposes political recommendations for the sector.
The representatives of the renewable gas sector who have drawn up the report and have agreed in the webinar that the Biomethane is an important source of renewable energy sources to meet the clean industrial pactPresented by the European Commission, whose goal is to accelerate carbon and to guarantee the future of the production industry in the European Union. They also emphasized that it is Fundamentally to guarantee re -industrialization and energy independence of the European Union, especially in a complex geopolitical situation.
He Biomethane It is a renewable fuel that presents neutral emissions from CO2 and high energy density. It can be transported via existing gas infrastructure, so it can gradually European fossil fuel unit Russians and exposure to the volatility of natural gas prices. When appreciating organic waste, it is a constant and storage source of energy source that contributes to biocircularity and the revitalization of rural areas, promoting synergies with the primary and secondary sectors and promoting the development of the local economy.
State of playing biogas and biomethane in Europe
He Report that Analyze the gaps for biomethane and biomethane in Europe And proposes political recommendations for the sector, it was jointly prepared in October 2024 by the projects of Horizon Europe Biomethhaverse, Hyfuelup, Methren and Sempre-Bio.
It offers a current panoramic picture of the European sector of renewable gases, where the gap is analyzed between the objectives that each country has set in its respective national energy and climate plans (PNECs) and the real production potential; The most important challenges with which different countries are confronted to meet the objective of the Repoweru plan – Produce 35 BCM Biogas and/or Biomethane By 2030—, the situation of certificates of origin and crossborder trade; as well as a compilation of political and market recommendations To increase the production of biomethane in the European Union.
Given the importance that the European Commission grants to the Biomethane, Not only as a formula to improve European energy security, but also To reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Four projects (initially not the two, were ultimately financed by the European Union within the framework of the Horizon-CL5-2021-D3-03 call (sustainable, safe and competitive energy supply).
This decision, motivated by the Repower –u, who was currently launched, implied that the European Executive Agency for Climate, Infrastructure and Environment (Cineum) has structured a collaboration between these four projects in Drawing up three reports of political recommendations on Biomethane For 3 and a half years (October 2023 – March 2026), including cooperation campaigns for the European Biogas and the Biomethane.
Reports sections
To officially present the second of these reports, coordinated by the Spanish technological and innovation platform in Biocircularity (BioPlat) as responsible for communication and distribution of the HyfuelUp project, the Participation of representatives of the Sector Renewable Gases who integrate the four projects, and who have renovated each of the sections of the report:
- Anna Venturini, police director of the European Biogás Association (EBA), on behalf of the Biomethhaverse project, has presented the analysis of the PNEC objectives against the real objectives of each country;
- Jaqueline Daniel-Gromke, head of the biochemical conversion division in DBFZ, representative of the Sempre-BIO project, explained the most important gaps for the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the implementation of the Biomethane in the European Union;
- Tim Hamers, general secretary of Ergoar, member of the Methren Project, has referred to certificates of origin and the challenges that Cross -Border Trade is confronted with;
- Gonçalo Lour Biomethane In the European Union. Finally, Margarita de Gregorio, general secretary of Bioplat, has moderated the round table that focuses on future predictions for the renewable gas sector, also on behalf of Hyfuelup.
For everyone, the Biomethane It is one of the best buzas that the European Union has to guarantee it RE -Industrialization and energy independence of Russian fossil fuels. Although the trend has been up in recent years in the production of Biomethane, The European Union is still far from achieving the objective of the Repowereu plan.
Among the obstacles that still They have the full development of the biomethane in Europe The lack of political will, the problems derived from the social license and the low acceptance of the Biomethane In many countries, or surplus permit who support the projects.
