European Biogas Association

As part of the #BIOMETHAVERSE project, EBA is developing key policy recommendations to foster innovative technologies for biomethane production and market adoption. 🤝 Collaborating with the SEMPRE-BIO PROJECT, which focuses on cost-effective production methods, we are working towards a comprehensive deliverable to guide policy initiatives and support decision-making processes. The recent General Assembly in Copenhagen, hosted by Cetaqua - Water Technology Centre, featured two days of productive discussions, followed by an insightful tour of DTU - Technical University of Denmark's Bio Conversions research labs. 🔬 The labs are focused on various biotechnology projects, including algae, biogas, biofuels, and biochemical production. Thanks to Cetaqua and DTU - Technical University of Denmark for the constructive dialogue and hospitality. #biomethane #innovation #sustainability Ghent University SINTEF Transports Metropolitans de Barcelona (TMB) Biogas-E Aigües de Barcelona Inveniam Group Innolab CRYOINOX Naturgy ProPuls GmbH BETA Technological Center ISINNOVA - Research Innovation Sustainability DBFZ Deutsches Biomasseforschungszentrum gemeinnützige GmbH TerraWatt SAS

How to increase the efficiency of biogas plants while unlocking alternative revenue incomes beyond electricity production? This question was at the heart of discussions during the international workshop and site visit hosted by the ALFA Project in Poprad, Slovakia. EBA joined participants from 6 EU countries to explore practical solutions to improve the efficiency of biogas plants and explore alternative revenue sources. 💡 Key topics of the day: · Boosting efficiency in biogas production. · Learning from best practices in Slovakia and abroad. · Engaging in knowledge-sharing with leading experts. 📌 All recommendations highlight the importance of diversifying revenue by exploring innovative biogas applications, such as converting it into biomethane and bio-based products.

During her #hearing, Teresa Ribera made it clear: the EU must balance ambitious climate targets with practical, fair solutions. “We need to honour our commitment to fulfil a decarbonised European economy by 2050. We have time, but not so much, and we need to do many things in a very short period of time in many different sectors.", said Teresa Ribera. But here is the key: there is no net zero without biogases! 💡 The biogas sector is ready to take on this challenge and plays a crucial role in tackling climate change: 🌱 Avoiding methane emissions on farms 🔄 Replacing fossil CO2 and fossil fuels in energy uses ⚡️ Supporting the growth of other renewables in the energy system “Looking beyond 2030, the EU climate and energy framework should actively support emissions reductions through biogas and biomethane systems by streamlining regulations and removing barriers to production, use, and trade.”, explains Anthony Lorin, EBA Senior Policy Analyst. #biogas #biomethane #NetZero

In yesterday’s hearing, Stéfane Séjourné outlined an ambitious vision for the Clean Industrial Deal, emphasising key cross-sectoral initiatives to support Europe’s green transition. These initiatives include simplifying regulatory frameworks, reducing permit delays, and lowering energy costs to help European industries adopt cleaner technologies. 🙌 One such technology with immense potential is biomethane: a game-changer in reducing the climate impact of industries. By replacing traditional fuels with biomethane, industries can cut emissions without changing their infrastructure. 📌 As Anthony Lorin, EBA Senior Policy Analyst, explains, “a critical step forward would be to achieve a Single Market for biomethane. Currently, the market remains fragmented, with significant barriers to cross-border trade. The new Commissioner should prioritise addressing these issues as part of the upcoming Single Market Strategy, which would lead to easier access to biomethane for industries.” #biomethane #biogas
