The development of biogas and biomethane sectors is a way to avoid GHG emissions and a negative carbon footprint.
The EBA presented a new infographic highlighting how biogas and biomethane industries avoid emissions and are already contributing to achieving climate-neutrality by 2050.
Biogas and biomethane reduce emissions by:
- replacing fossil fuels;
- avoiding methane slips from manure;
- storing carbon in soils;
- producing green fertilisers;
- enabling carbon re-use.
Compared to EU fossil fuels, biogas production can save up to 240% of GHG emissions and biomethane up to 202%.

The sector has the potential to reduce worldwide greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 10-13%.
