EU Recovery plan: reactions from biogas industry

Sector expectations remain hig on a stronger role of green gas in ensuring resilient mobility. 

The recovery plan proposed by the European Commission will be determinant to ensure there is not a step back in the path towards climate-neutrality. The COVID-19 crisis is seriously affecting renewable energy industries, which are a key pillar for the decarbonization of our economy. Biogas and biomethane are an optimal solution for the fast and deep decarbonization of multiple sectors of our economy, including heating, transport and energy. Additionally, these green gases facilitate unique synergies with the circular economy and the bioeconomy, and provide green jobs. By 2050, the production of biomethane from anaerobic digestion and thermal gasification could create 452,000 direct jobs and 600,000 indirect jobs. Our industry will need all possible support to maintain its firm commitment to the transition towards a more sustainable and resilient EU.
