Biogenic CO₂ from Biomethane

This report, published by the European Biogas Association, explores the current status and future outlook of biogenic CO₂ – the carbon dioxide produced from biomass sources – focusing on its capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) within Europe. The report highlights the growing importance of biogenic CO₂ as a sustainable, non-fossil carbon source that can help Europe achieve its climate and circular economy goals.

Chapter 1: Applications of Biogenic CO₂
Describes how biogenic CO₂ can be used in industries (food, beverages, greenhouses, chemicals, e-fuels, building materials) and for carbon storage.

Chapter 2: Markets and Future Landscape
Explains current and future demand for CO₂, sources of biogenic CO₂, and the sector’s growth potential.

Chapter 3: Economics of Biogenic CO₂
Covers the costs, economic factors, and support schemes for capturing and using biogenic CO₂.

Chapter 4: Europe’s Future CO₂ Infrastructure
Discusses the need for transport and storage infrastructure to connect producers and users of CO₂.

Chapter 5: Mapping of Biomethane Facilities
Presents data on current and future biomethane plants in Europe that capture biogenic CO₂, including technology and country trends.
