The government in Prague moved the financing of operating support for renewable sources to the state budget. The regulator ERÚ issued new prices on 29 December 2025: the POZE charge is zero.
BMP, TS, VS, C:N and pH are the basic parameters of a substrate. We show how to assess sample quality, compare the cost of methane and avoid typical mistakes, using an example with explicit assumptions.
From 1 January 2026 the carbon tax rate in South Africa is 308 rand per tonne of CO₂e (against 236 in 2025); the Act already provides for rates up to 2029. We recall the history of the tax from 2019.
POB report from the end of 2025: 122 biomethane projects in preparation, about 815 million Nm³ per year, mostly 1–5 MW. Spain’s Biorig announced 20 biomethane plants and more than PLN 1.5 billion of investment.
Digestate contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and organic matter. We explain its composition, legal status (fertiliser, product, waste), application techniques and why quality depends on the substrates.
On 11 November 2025 the Korean government approved NDC 2035: a net emissions reduction of 53–61% relative to 2018. For industry the target is 24.3–31.0%.
A comparison of the support mechanisms for biogas plants in Poland at the end of 2025: the fixed purchase price (FIT), the right to cover the negative balance (FIP), auctions, certificates of origin and the chapter for biomethane.
Italy is developing biomethane through CIC certificates in transport and the PNRR programme for agricultural biomethane, with an investment grant and a tariff. We discuss the mechanisms, the agricultural model and the lessons.
An act of December 2025 changed the 2050 biogenic methane target from 24–47% to 14–24% below the 2017 level; the government announced the change on 12 October 2025, and the 2030 target (−10%) remained.
The first tender under the new biomass package rules: 940 MW of bids for 813 MW, 692 winning bids, weighted average 18.11 ct/kWh.
Zones 0, 1 and 2 define how often an explosive atmosphere occurs. We explain the classification principles, typical places at a biogas plant, and the role of ventilation and marking.
On 10 December 2025 the EBA published its 15th statistical report: at the end of 2024 about 1,620 biomethane plants were operating in Europe, and biogas production came to 22 billion m³, including 5.2 billion m³ of biomethane.
On 10 December 2025 the Council of the EU and the European Parliament agreed an amendment to the climate law: a binding 90% emission reduction target by 2040, international credits, a review clause and a one-year postponement of ETS2.
The top-up to the price of electricity from biogas in Slovakia lasts 15 years and expires for most installations in 2025–2028. The industry is fighting for changes in the amendment to Acts 251/2012 and 309/2009.
On 2 December 2025 it was announced that HAM Group had opened South America’s first bio-LNG plant in the Ñuble region of Chile. Biogas from meat industry waste is liquefied in a modular installation.
China already incinerates about 79% of urban waste in about 1000 plants, but over 40% of capacity stands idle. Why the expansion of incinerators collided with a shortage of waste and a lack of money.
The “Reducing Methane Emissions from Landfill Gas” method (2025) under the ACCU scheme awards credits only for methane above a baseline capture level that rises by 0.5% per year; it has applied since the end of November 2025.
The RED III directive raises the renewables target for 2030, changes the sustainability criteria and creates an EU database of renewable fuels. We explain the effects for biogas plants and the state of implementation in Poland.
On 18 November 2025 the Latvian government approved a EUR 21.5 million support package for biomethane production: a capital grant of up to EUR 4.2 million per applicant, plus ALTUM loans and guarantees.
On 13 November 2025 lawmaker Jeong Heeyong submitted a bill that will remove livestock farmers from the group of obligatory biogas producers. Farms with at least 25,000 pigs were to be covered by the obligation from 1 January 2026.
Denmark has one of the largest shares of biogas and biomethane in the gas grid in Europe, based largely on slurry. We discuss the role of support, agriculture, the operator Energinet and lessons for Poland.
H₂S is a poisonous gas that dulls the sense of smell. We explain the effects depending on concentration, where it accumulates, how to choose detectors and what rules to apply during work.
Borzen report for January–September 2025: the scheme covers 3103 power plants, and biogas received EUR 8.10 million for 53.51 GWh, 8.6% more than a year earlier.
China has submitted its new nationally determined contribution (NDC): to cut net greenhouse gas emissions by 7–10% from the peak by 2035. It is China's first absolute target covering the whole economy and all greenhouse gases.
