EBA is launching today new paper providing a comprehensive analysis on the potential of biomethane for the fast decarbonisation of the transport sector and policy recommendations to ensure the further scale-up of this green fuel. The paper has considered 11 comparative studies analysing transport emissions per type of fuel, which show that biomethane can reach even carbon negative levels of CO2 reductions in transport. The further development of biomethane will support a strong car industry within Europe and provide additional resources for farmers from energy production. All studies on alternative fuels since 2010, including EU JRC reports, show that biomethane can reach even carbon negative levels of CO2 reductions in the transport sector. This renewable fuel is readily available, scalable and contributes to maintain a strong car industry within the EU. It is now crucial to untap the valuable role of biomethane on an equal footing with electric mobility to ensure the most needed decarbonisation of the EU transport sector. Despite all current efforts from the EU, transport is the only sector which is not decarbonizing but shows even an increase in GHG emissions on a yearly basis since 2014[1]. The need for further actions to reduce emissions in the … Continue reading Acknowledging the full potential of biomethane as transport fuel
