The Commission's updated roadmap (May 2025) foresees that gases, including biomethane and biogas, will remain important in 2040 and 2050. The EBA "strongly" welcomed it and forecasts 101 billion m³ of biogases by 2040.
Poland has no single EPR act: producers’ obligations follow from sectoral acts (packaging, equipment, batteries, vehicles, the product fee). We explain the mechanisms and the changes for 2025.
How to turn the dried solid fraction of digestate into granulate or pellets: required moisture, process stages, quality parameters, costs and risks.
On 29 April 2025 the Council of Ministers adopted amendments to the draft act on investments in wind power plants (Sejm print 1130): direct pipelines will also cover biomethane, and the President of the Energy Regulatory Office (URE) will not examine the conditions of consent.
In a two-stage system, dark fermentation yields hydrogen, and the second stage converts acids into methane. We explain the principle, the composition of biohythane, the energy benefits and the limits to deployment.
On 23 April 2025 the NIK Board approved the results of the audit "Use of biogas for energy generation". NIK pointed out that the lack of actions in the Ministry of Climate and Environment's plans and of a chapter on biomethane in KPEiK hindered a coherent policy.
Participants of the Grid Ready Forum, organised by the EBA, called on Member States and the Commission to quickly implement the right to inject biomethane from the gas package, connection time limits and grid zoning.
On 11 April 2025, at the MEPC 83 meeting, the International Maritime Organization approved a draft global framework for reducing shipping emissions to net zero. Formal adoption was postponed by a year.
Stripping recovers ammonium nitrogen from digestate in the form of ammonium sulphate. Principle of operation, process conditions, a balance example, acid and energy consumption, and limitations.
The Environmental Conservation Center in Shikaoi has operated since 2007 and processes slurry; since 2017 biogas has been upgraded with membranes and converted to hydrogen, and since 2022 a hydrogen station has operated there.
In March 2025 China formally expanded its national ETS to steelmaking, cement and electrolytic aluminium. About 1500 entities and about 3 billion t of CO₂e of emissions were added.
On 26 March 2025 NFOŚiGW announced the acceptance by the European Investment Bank of the programme "High-efficiency cogeneration from biogas produced from biomass, including municipal waste": PLN 1 billion from the Modernisation Fund.
Regulation 2019/1009 allows digestate and compost to be placed on the EU market with the CE marking. We explain the PFC categories, the CMC 3, 4 and 5 components, conformity assessment and the relationship with the national digestate product.
Biogas upgrading yields a CO₂ stream of about 99% purity after drying in amine and cryogenic technologies. We analyse sales markets: beverages, packaging, greenhouses, e-fuels, and quality requirements.
On 18 February 2025 the Japanese government approved the 7th Strategic Energy Plan, the climate action plan and the GX2040 Vision: renewables 40–50%, nuclear about 20%, fossil fuels 30–40%.
A steering committee chaired by Prime Minister Akhannouch selected on 6 March 2025 five investors for six green hydrogen projects in the southern provinces with a combined value of 319 billion dirhams.
We explain the mechanics of the Low Carbon Fuel Standard: carbon intensity (CI), credits and deficits, the role of biomethane and the controversy over crediting "avoided methane".
The Irish company Clonbio Green Gas went into receivership in March 2025. The company claimed it cannot withstand competition from cheap imports of biofuels from South-East Asia.
How much heat is consumed by drying the solid fraction and digestate, which dryers are used and when it makes economic sense. A calculation example with explicit assumptions.
In February 2025 NSW passed a statutory FOGO collection obligation: councils must provide the service to all households with a red bin by 1 July 2030, and businesses in stages from July 2026.
Regulation (EU) 2024/1787 regulates methane emissions in the energy sector: oil, natural gas and coal. What it contains, who it applies to, and how it may affect biogas plants and the biomethane market.
On 26 February 2025 the European Commission presented the Clean Industrial Deal and the Affordable Energy Action Plan. The European Biogas Association noted the lack of a clear pathway for biomethane.
A review of the draft amendment of 25 February 2025: auctions for biomethane plants above 1 MW in segments of <2 MW, 2–6 MW and >6 MW, imports of up to 5% of volume, about 53 installations by 2030 and up to 300 million m³ a year.
Building a biomethane plant usually takes two to three years. We present the stages: site, study, connection conditions, environmental decisions, financing, construction, commissioning and certification, with typical durations and risks.
