Why participate?

The demand for gas is very high in Spain and throughout Europe, the #RENEWABLEGAS sector should only worry about producing with guarantees and quality.

The current situation of the fossil gas market, with prices constantly rising, uncertainty regarding the stability of supply and skyrocketing emission rights, is forcing the energy transition to be accelerated.

Biogas in Europe

Currently, in The European Union there are more than 20,000 biogas and biomethane plants with a production of 18.4 bcm of energy, which represents 4.5% of gas consumption in the EU. At present, the more than 1,300 biomethane operating plants produce 3.5 bcm but more plants are under construction with the aim of multiplying their production by 10 and contributing 35 bcm to the European energy system in 2030.

Biogas in Spain

Industry experts predict that by the end of 2023 Spain will have 12 biomethane plants in operation and another 30 will be in proyect phase.

Take the opportunity

At present, there is a clear political commitment in Spain for these technologies that had not been manifested to date.

Spain is already working to define a stable framework to make biomethane development a reality, as required by the European Green Deal , the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan and the draft Law on Climate Change and Energy Transition.
