As the European Union charts its path toward the 2040 Climate Targets,\u00a0the European Biogas Association (EBA)<\/a>\u00a0has unveiled its strategic vision for biogases as a cornerstone of a sustainable, circular, and resilient energy system<\/em><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the SAF platform, UABIO Expert Council member\u00a0Yurii Matveev<\/strong>\u00a0prepared <\/em>an article on the new EBA roadmap. As a full member of the EBA, the UABIO calls on Ukrainian stakeholders to join the creation of the future European Biogas and Biomethane Charter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of the sector<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Biogas and biomethane are environmentally vital and economically viable, offering flexible energy generation. They strengthen regional economies, create local jobs ensuring that economic investment revolves within Europe, and reduce dependence on foreign energy, fertilisers, and CO\u2082 supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biogases sector in Europe has experienced impressive growth over the past years,\u00a0with a consistent 20% year-on-year increase in the last years<\/strong>. Currently, biogases provide\u00a022 bcm<\/strong>\u00a0of renewable gas to the European market, equal to 7% of EU natural gas consumption in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, EBA strongly advocates for a\u00a0100 bcm combined biogas and biomethane target for 2040<\/strong>\u00a0to be formally anchored in EU legislation. This figure is based on well-founded estimates of sustainable feedstock availability and would represent a transformative step for Europe\u2019s green energy landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n

The European Biogas Charter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This European Biogases Charter should include Member States\u2019 commitment to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. National Pledges for Biogases<\/strong>: which illustrating specific action plans for sustainable biogases deployment, so to substantiate Member States\u2019 ambition to use these renewable gases as a cornerstone of a sustainable, circular, and energy-secure Europe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Accelerate biogases deployment:<\/strong>\u00a0Streamline permitting procedures for biogases projects by implementing digitalisation, best practices, and coordinated administrative processes across Member States to reduce delays and uncertainty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Enhance market design:<\/strong>\u00a0Improve support schemes and market incentives to ensure long-term investment visibility, and the integration of environmental and circular economy benefits provided by biogases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Boost infrastructure and production capacity:<\/strong>\u00a0Facilitate investments to scale-up domestic production capacity of biogases, including grid connections, upgrading technologies, and storage infrastructure, ensuring alignment with national energy and waste management strategies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Promote circular economy contributions:<\/strong>\u00a0Acknowledge and strengthen the role of biogases in providing renewable energy, organic fertilisers, and biogenic CO\u2082, helping to decarbonise hard-toabate sectors, restore soil health, and reduce dependence on fossil-derived CO\u2082.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Strengthen strategic cooperation:<\/strong>\u00a0Commit to regular dialogue and coordination with the European Commission and the biogases sectors to align efforts, monitor progress, and ensure effective implementation of this Charter.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
