The Netherlands is building a green gas market by combining SDE++ production subsidies with the Vertogas certificate system. We describe the mechanisms, the role of manure digestion and lessons for Poland, without citing uncertain statistics.
In February 2026 Ukraine’s Energy Efficiency Agency launched a national biomethane register: it tracks the origin of gas and issues and cancels guarantees of origin. In 2025 Ukraine exported biomethane to the EU for the first time.
Co-digestion combines two or more substrates in one digester. We explain C:N, proven combinations, synergy and the rules for introducing new mixtures.
A biogas plant is subject to several types of inspection: technical supervision of equipment, building and electrical inspections, and safety tests. How to arrange them into a single schedule.
Portugal directs support to forest biomass power plants in fire-prone zones; since 2019 it has favoured heat, and in 2023 it announced a tender for 60 MW of grid connections.
On 3 February 2026 the Treasury and the IRS presented proposed regulations for the 45Z clean transport fuel credit; the credit covers fuel sold up to the end of 2029 and does not take indirect land use change into account.
K-ETS has operated since 2015 and covers more than 77% of the country's emissions. Phase 4 (2026–2030) increases the share of auctioning, especially in the power sector: from 15% in 2026 to 50% in 2030.
The Austrian EAG market premium gives biogas generators 29.02 ct/kWh, and biomass generators from 8.61 to 25.76 ct/kWh, for 20 years. We describe the rates, tenders and changes since 2022.
On 6 February 2026 financial close was announced for the Kapuni project in Taranaki: 25.6 MW of wind, a 5 MW electrolyser and up to 2 t of hydrogen per day, with production starting in 2027.
On 9 February 2026 the European Commission formally adopted an amendment to Annex III of the Nitrates Directive allowing the use of RENURE – recovered nitrogen from manure – above the manure limit. Use is voluntary for states.
For biowaste digestion is better, for residual waste incineration, for selected fractions RDF, pyrolysis or gasification. We compare the routes by feedstock, product, maturity and legal conditions.
On 28 January 2026 the Commission approved a Spanish EUR 3.1 billion, 10-year scheme for new or substantially modernised high-efficiency CHP plants, including those fuelled by biogas and biomass.
NFOŚiGW has launched the second call under the FEnIKS programme (RES Development) with a pool of PLN 300 million: PLN 200 million for biomethane plants and PLN 100 million for biogas plants. Applications can be submitted until 30 April 2026.
Directives 2018/851 and 2018/850, RED III and the REPowerEU plan shape the market for biowaste and biomethane. An overview of obligations, deadlines and the impact on Polish operators.
The Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Agriculture argue that draft UC84 will improve the situation of biogas plants: 60 days to assess an application, priority of operation during grid emergencies and reimbursement of expansion costs. Work has stalled in the Sejm.
Amendment to the EAG-Marktprämienverordnung (BGBl. II 13/2026) for 2026–2027: biogas 29.02 ct/kWh, most follow-up premiums lower, tender cap for biomass 18.41 ct/kWh.
According to reports on the EBA report, Europe produced about 5.2 billion m³ of biomethane in 2024 (4.3 billion m³ in the EU-27). We set the data against the REPowerEU target of 35 billion m³ by 2030 and calculate the required growth rate.
From the start of 2026, municipal waste may not be landfilled without prior treatment in Seoul, Incheon and Gyeonggi Province. On the second day, 66 t went to the Sudokwon landfill, about 3% of the previous average.
On 14 January 2026 the European Commission's Joint Research Centre (JRC) published a report on RFNBO fuels. Among other things, it shows that most new e-methane installations plan to use CO₂ from biogas upgrading.
The Spanish specific regime combines investment and operating support (Ro), and REER auctions have operated since 2021; biomass won 146 MW in them at an average of EUR 93.09/MWh.
Polski Zielony Fundusz (ARP TFI) and Green Gas Energy will build nine agricultural biomethane plants of 0.99 MW each; the project is worth almost PLN 400 million, and the fund’s equity commitment is PLN 59 million.
H2 2025: RDN PLN 456.3/MWh, FIP + 2× PLN 821.4/MWh, FIT PLN 828.4/MWh. Seasonality of negative prices and quarterly quotations.
Fires at biogas plants most often start in the CHP unit, electrical installations, silage stores and dryers. An overview of causes, prevention, equipment and firefighting principles.
Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Puri reported in January 2026 that 132 CBG plants with a combined capacity of 920 t per day had been commissioned in India. The SATAT programme, launched in 2018, envisaged 5,000 plants.
