There has never been greater interest in biomethane than at the current time. Increased climate ambition, with net zero emissions commitments covering around 85% of global GHG emissions requires that all viable emissions reduction technologies are harnessed.

A significant scale up in biomethane production represents a “low hanging fruit” solution in this context. It’s based on mature technology, provides a renewable fuel that is compatible with existing uses of natural gas in sectors where emissions are hard to abate, and is suitable to replace petroleum products in long haul transport. Wider benefits in aiding waste management, supporting rural development and the production of co-products, further support expansion of the sector.

Biomethane Vision Document: In this regard, the World Bioenergy Association (WBA) recently published the ‘Biomethane Vision Document – a 5-point p lan for scaling up biomethane globally’. This ´vision document´ outlined five key recommendations adaptable to most markets globally, that should form part of national or regional biomethane strategies. In addition, a comprehensive set of recommendations were outlined covering feedstocks, technology, gas infrastructures, policy, and regulation. The document is available: https://www.worldbioenergy.org/news/690/47/Biomethane-Vision-Document/

Webinar: The webinar will include a scene setting presentation which will highlight the recommendations from the Biomethane Vision Document. This will be followed by interventions from leading trade associations, industry, and research bodies working in the field of biogas and biomethane. They will delve deeper into what´s needed to scale up biomethane as well as share the latest developments in policies, technology, and research. READ MORE
