With new faces stepping in post-EU elections, it is crucial to introduce the biogas sector and its key role in realising a vision for a greener and more sustainable Europe. 🌱 What is biogas? It is a renewable energy source produced from organic matter such as household and industrial waste, sewage sludge, urban wastewater, and manure. This process supports the shift to circularity by turning waste into valuable energy, reducing our reliance on fossil fuels. Biogas can provide renewable heat and power as well as green fuel. The residues from biogas production also offer significant benefits: bio-CO2 can be reused in various industries, and the nutrient-rich matter left behind in the digester is ideal for organic farming, completing the cycle of organic waste use. 🎥 Watch our video to find out more. #biogas #biomethane #sustainable 

On what aspects do we need to act to give a definitive boost to the 𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝, following the 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 implementation? We asked Harmen Dekker, CEO of the European Biogas Association (EBA): https://bit.ly/4cItdbX

Introducing our new sponsor of the European Biomethane Week: DESOTEC. Years of innovation have led to the development of DESOTEC’s specially designed production facility and groundbreaking purification solution. This facility is a game-changer, transforming highly sulphur-loaded spent carbon into a closed-loop model safely and efficiently. By valorising all pollutants, DESOTEC's solution achieves zero discharge and is completely pollutant-free. This not only addresses current needs cost-effectively but also reduces reliance on non-European sources, paving the way for a more environmentally responsible future. 📌Join us at the EBA Conference on 23 and 24 October in Brussels and meet representatives from DESOTEC in person. https://lnkd.in/gWi2gyEg Find out more about DESOTEC: https://lnkd.in/eSTzSZk6 #EBAConference #EUBW2024 #biogas #biomethane

We are delighted to announce that Cycle0 is supporting the European Biomethane Week! CycleØ’s activities focus on capturing methane from the agri-food, industrial and municipal sectors and turning it into biomethane for vehicles and grid injection. Their latest milestone? The inauguration of Spain's first biomethane plant with ammonia stripping in Cataluña. CycleØ plans to have 20 biomethane plants underway or operating in Spain by the end of 2024. These facilities represent a total investment of €50 million and will produce 240 GWh of biomethane annually. 📌Join us at the EBA Conference on 23 and 24 October to learn more about CycleØ's approach to sustainable agriculture. https://lnkd.in/gWi2gyEg Find out more about CycleØ recent activities: https://lnkd.in/emm6aujm #EBAConference #EUBW2024 #biogas #biomethane #agriculture #sustainability

Curious about the sustainable impact of biomethane? Here are some real-life examples of how its use makes a difference. Did you know that an average European biomethane plant produces 468 m³ of biomethane per hour? A plant of that size can: ✔️Save 20,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year 🏡 Provide year-round energy for 3,700 European households 🌱 Produce 570 tonnes of organic fertiliser per year 🚛 Fuel 100 bio-LNG trucks year-round Want to learn more?

This September, EBA will publish the first-ever members-only Manual on applicable EU legislation and standards for the biogases sector. Join us for an exclusive members-only launch webinar on 3 September to get a quick introduction to the Manual. The biogases industry crosscuts many sectors, including agriculture, waste management, heating, and transport. Navigating the complex EU regulatory framework is crucial for the success of any biogas or biomethane project. Our comprehensive Biogas Manual covers key questions such as: 🔹 What does EU law state about the use of agricultural feedstock? 🔹 What sustainability criteria should I apply to my new production project? 🔹 Are there requirements for the storage of digestate? 🔹 How does the EU incentivise the use of biomethane in transport? 🔹 How can the EU support financially my projects? 🔹 ..and many others on financing, heating, transport, and procurement.
