European Biogas Industry 2014
> 15 000 Biogas plants all over the Europe ~ 15 000 000 000 m3 methane produced in 2014 >30 m3 of methane per capita
>300 Biomethane plants in AT, CH, DE, DK, ES, FR, FI, LX, NL, NO, SE, UK ~ 1 000 000 000 m3 biomethane produced
> 8 000 MW installed power in combined H&P 4 fairly sized conventional power plants
Biomethane Industry
Including Anaerobic digestion followed by biogas upgrading
Including Gasification of renewable organic matter followed by syngas conversion to biomethane
Including other technologies producing methane fuel from biogenic carbon or utilizing biological pathways (Power-to-Gas)
Biomethane is Multitalented
Transport fuel
Heating & Cooling
Balancing energy
Decentralized production
Domestic gas source
Resource-versatility
(de)centralized utilization
MULTITALENTED
Baseload electricity
Biomethane Utilization
Green fuel for GT/GTCC power plants Balancing power (combined power plants) System services: frequency stability, voltage maintenance, etc.
By far the easiest way of providing green heating for residential heating
Transportation biofuel suitable for any desired blend Can cope with future GHG limits in transportation (CO2)

Value of Biomethane
Physical (in use) value + Intrinsic (“bio”) value Intrinsic value: „green”, renewable, sustainable, …
The physical flow does not carry the intrinsic value
Condition for sustainable biomethane production: Costs of production are above natural gas prices Intrinsic value must be realised on the market
WHY?
Biomethane Offers Competitiveness
Inherently secure supplies Decentralized & domestic source of methane
Reducing GHG footprint of natural gas Key importance for managing 2050 horizon Keeping pace with renewable electricity sources
New geographical and commercial dimensions

EU 28 NG consumption 2013 462×109 m3 (2% down from 2012)
Biomethane in Near Future
We are convinced that 30% of the technical potential can be reached by 2030
Reasons to be optimistic? Keeping track with 2020 projection 15% of the potential by 2020 Following the NREAPs pathway And still far off the maximal potential

Biomethane Path to 2030
Biomethane Path to 2030
BIOSURF Project
BIOmethane as SUstainable and Renewable Fuel
To develop a value chain analysis from production to use depending on the territorial, physical and economic features
To analyze, compare and promote biomethane registering, labelling, certification and trade practices in Europe
To address environmental criteria and quality standards
To address GHG emission reduction and certification

Biogas Related Policies on the EU Level
Strategy for Biomethane Industry
European Biogas Industry goes far beyond renewable electricity
Biomethane offers high GHG savings for natural gas blends, enabling gas greening
Biomethane industry can be a pillar of EU energy Tremendous technical potential Biomethane industry needs strong stakeholders Methane fuels must overcome coal and oil usage
Need for a strong biomethane push right now
