Masterclass | The biogases market: certification and trade

The European biogas and biomethane market is experiencing rapid growth, with a 37% increase in biogas capacity across the continent. As this expansion continues, the importance of biogases in meeting climate targets becomes increasingly evident.

Biogases, which are fully interchangeable with fossil natural gas, offer a renewable alternative already used in heating, industry, and transport. To ensure sustainability, biogases must be clearly defined and certified by independent third-party bodies, which validate their environmental integrity.

This certification enables standardized and transparent trading of biomethane across Europe by detailing its energy and environmental attributes. However, trading remains complex due to differences in how EU Member States connect to the European Gas grid and structure their regulations.

This Masterclass provides an in-depth look at the opportunities and challenges of biomethane certification and trading. The first part explores the regulatory framework and the steps required for certification, while the second part focuses on the key elements of trading, showing how producers can benefit from both domestic and cross-border markets.
