The European biogas economy is expanding rapidly, supported by the EU’s Green Deal and REPowerEU targets for 35 bcm of biomethane production by 2030, which will generate millions of jobs worldwide across the energy, agriculture, and waste sectors. Biogas and biomethane are now widely recognised as essential solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. While the industry has long depended on fossil-based energy, the shift to renewable gas continues to gather momentum. In the coming years, numerous large-scale anaerobic digestion plants and biomethane upgrading projects are anticipated to commence operations, forming decentralised energy hubs with far-reaching benefits. By 2030, biogas is expected to play a central role in replacing fossil-derived fuels across transport, heating, and industries. Applications include biomethane injection into national grids, renewable gas for heavy-duty vehicles, and its use in fertiliser production. Analysts predict that by 2050, the strongest demands will arise from the transport and industrial sectors, while agriculture will remain a core driver.

Companies worldwide continue to invest in advanced digestion, upgrading, and carbon capture technologies to produce grid-quality biomethane. Biogas not only generates renewable energy but also supplies heat and digestate as a nutrient-rich fertiliser for agriculture. Operators are expanding facilities to deliver biomethane that can be injected directly into national gas grids or converted into renewable fuels for the industries and mobility sectors. The scalability of these systems enables decentralised energy supply models that serve communities, industries, and transport corridors alike. At the same time, international collaboration remains crucial. The EU is developing cross-border renewable gas trade frameworks, while global technology providers are sharing expertise to accelerate adoption across both established and emerging markets.

Biogas as a Decarbonisation Driver

Biogas holds a distinctive position in reducing emissions across multiple sectors. It not only replaces fossil fuels but also tackles waste management challenges by converting organic residues, food waste, and agricultural by-products into renewable energy. This circular approach closes resource loops while lowering methane emissions that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere. Future projects now prioritise upgrading biogas into grid-quality biomethane, opening pathways for direct substitution for natural gas. At the same time, operators are trialling carbon capture and utilisation technologies, fostering new low-carbon industries. Collectively, these innovations support Europe’s trajectory towards climate neutrality by 2050.
