From waste to renewable energy: how biomethane can foster resilient energy communities
The Biomethane Industrial Partnership (BIP), in collaboration with the Directorate-General for Energy (DG ENER), the European Biogas Association (EBA) and the European Renewable Gas Registry (ERGaR), will host the policy session “From waste to renewable energy: how biomethane can foster resilient energy communities” at the European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) 2024.
Scheduled to take place on June 12th, from 16:30 to 18:00 CEST, both in Brussels and online, the session “From waste to renewable energy: how biomethane can foster resilient energy communities” will focus on the role of biomethane in fostering resilient and effective energy communities.
The session will explore how biomethane can be a local, green, and resilient energy source, highlighting its diverse benefits, from the efficient utilisation of waste-based feedstock to the production of organic fertilisers and the mitigation of CO2 emissions. Additionally, it will examine how building biomethane energy communities can enhance citizen engagement and local leadership, addressing social acceptance concerns and the importance of sector awareness.
Projections for biomethane production by 2040 will be presented, offering insights into future energy landscapes. Lastly, best practices for timely and constructive engagement with local communities will be shared, highlighting strategies to expedite the implementation of biomethane projects and achieve the objective of the energy transition.
The session will feature different perspectives from the EU institutions, academia, industry, energy cooperatives, and gas infrastructure association operators.
