Projection of biomethane production in Europe
According to the forecast of the European Biogas Association, the production of biomethane in Europe in 2020 will be 26% of the total biogas production (6.5 billion m³ biomethane). In 2030, the share of biomethane – that is, enriched biogas – should increase to 37.5% (this is 18 billion m³ of biomethane).
▪️ Italy is predicted to become a leader in biomethane production in a few years. There are already 250 compressed gas stations (CNG) and 22 liquefied methane (LNG) stations in Italy, and more than a million cars and 3300 buses use methane as a fuel.
▪ In France, according to the forecast, in 2030, the production of biomethane will account for a third of natural gas consumption
▪️ In Denmark, according to the forecast, in 2035, biomethane will completely replace natural gas.
