The upgrading also facilitates capture and use of biogenic CO2 from the biogas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Gasification pathways are also promising to deliver biomethane<\/strong>&nbsp;(SNG) which can be fed into the grid to replace fossil gas. Technologies have been proven and are ready to take the next step to commercial scale projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accelerating the deployment of renewable gas requires solid planning and strategies, a&nbsp;<strong>stable and supportive policy framework<\/strong>, the&nbsp;<strong>removal of unnecessary barriers<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>easy market access<\/strong>, the possibility to&nbsp;<strong>trade products cross border<\/strong>, the&nbsp;<strong>unlocking of sustainable feedstocks<\/strong>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<strong>recognition of the multifunctionality of biogas\/biomethane systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"388\" height=\"234\" data-id=\"1014514\" src=\"https:\/\/uabio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image010.jpg\" alt=\"\u0417\u0432\u0456\u0442 \u041c\u0415\u0410\" class=\"wp-image-1014514\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"371\" height=\"201\" data-id=\"1014515\" src=\"https:\/\/uabio.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/image008.jpg\" alt=\"\u0417\u0432\u0456\u0442 \u041c\u0415\u0410\" class=\"wp-image-1014515\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusions regarding modern liquid biofuels<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thermochemical and biochemical routes to produce&nbsp;<strong>advanced liquid biofuels are entering the market<\/strong>, with new projects coming online and further deployment expected in the coming years.
