IEA Bioenergy Triannual Online Conference 2021: Green Gas perspectives

This session will discuss perspectives of biogas and biomethane in different parts of the world – Europe, North America, China and developing countries – and the role of policy frameworks for further deployment. It is important to consider that biogas is not just a renewable energy solution, but provides a strong contribution to circular and biobased economy, mostly starting from waste and residual flows and, amongst others, circulating nutrient and organic material flows, providing sanitation of treated material and contributing to development of rural areas. Sustainability of green gas concepts needs to be considered to make sure they positively contribute.
