Grid Ready Forum

Upon invitation only

The Grid Ready Forum is a focused and expert-driven event taking place on 10 April in Brussels. In light of the developments of biomethane throughout Europe, the Forum will convene selected experts from grid operators, biomethane producers, and national and European policymakers to address biomethane grid access.

The fast rollout of biomethane and other renewable gases is becoming a strategic energy priority for the European Union to accelerate the defossilisation of the economy with a set of cost-competitive and homegrown clean technologies. With future-proof gas infrastructure already in place, the future gaseous energy mix requires a fit-for-purpose regulatory framework that steers the necessary planning and operational conditions to facilitate the uptake of renewable gas. Concerted efforts and coordination between multiple stakeholders at EU and national levels are needed to make it happen.

In the light of this, the Grid Ready Forum will tackle the current opportunities and challenges of integrating biomethane into gas networks to coordinate and faciltate the fast decarbonisation of the EU gas market. By fostering the exchange of views and showcasing best practices, the Forum aims to provide conclusions and actionable insights for the implementation of relevant initiatives and pieces of legislation, such as the Gas Package and RES Acceleration Areas for biomethane.
