As the EU intensifies its efforts to meet ambitious climate goals, biogas and biomethane are increasingly recognized as essential components in the region’s energy transition. These renewable sources provide a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, aiding in carbon reduction and supporting the EU’s commitment to a circular economy.
Europe’s biogas and biomethane market is poised for significant growth over the next decade, spurred by favorable policies, increased investments, and rapid technological advancements. The European Green Deal and Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) have set the stage for biogas to become a key player in the EU’s sustainable energy future, with biogas production projected to double by 2030. With these developments, the market value is expected to surpass €40 billion, making biogas indispensable for Europe’s net-zero ambitions.
However, the expansion of biogas and biomethane in Europe faces complex challenges, including regulatory inconsistencies across member states, technological limitations, and the need for a reliable and sustainable feedstock supply. Overcoming these obstacles will require a coordinated effort among industry stakeholders to innovate, invest, and collaborate effectively.
The Biogas & Biomethane World Summit brings together Europe’s foremost experts, including senior executives, technology innovators, EU policymakers, and investors, to discuss these challenges and shape a cohesive strategy for scaling biogas across the continent. The event will focus on groundbreaking technological advancements, regulatory harmonization, and effective strategies for biogas integration into European energy systems. Key discussions will address advanced biogas production technologies, biomethane infrastructure, sustainable feedstock sourcing, and biogas’s role in decarbonizing Europe’s transport and heavy industry sectors.
Among the speakers invited to share their experience, we will also be there, on Wednesday 28 May at 3.25 pm, with a speech by our CEO G. F. Galanzino who will talk about the challenges and technological solutions identified to improve efficiency in biogas production starting from the recovery of organic materials.
See you at Biogas & Biomethane World Summit!
