About us
The European Biogas Association (EBA) is committed to the deployment of sustainable biogas and biomethane production and use across the continent. EBA counts today on a well-established network of over 350 national associations and other organisations covering the whole biogas and biomethane value chain throughout Europe and beyond.
At the European Biogas Association (EBA), we promote the role of biogases as a key solution to Europe’s energy trilemma — delivering a resilient, competitive, and sustainable European economy. We work to ensure the full potential of biogases and their co-products is recognised and used to drive climate action, waste management, rural development, and a stronger European bioeconomy.
The EBA envisions a Europe where biogases power a resilient and competitive future, offering timely, circular solutions to today’s biggest challenges. From renewable energy and organic fertilisers to biogenic CO₂ , biogases are more than a green fuel — they’re a cornerstone of a sustainable and thriving Europe.
Our Commitments
The European Biogas Association (EBA) is committed to the deployment of sustainable biogas and biomethane production and use across the continent, as well as the full valorisation of digestate and bio-CO2 as co-products of the production process. Founded in 2009, EBA counts today on a well-established network of over 8,000 stakeholders covering the whole biogas and biomethane value chain throughout Europe and beyond.
1. Unlocking EU’s Own Energy Resources
Europe possesses abundant renewable energy resources within its borders. The biogases sector has a large sustainable growth potential: considering the expected reduction in natural gas consumption, it could provide the equivalent of 2/3 of gas demand by 2050.
2. Maintaining EU Clean Tech Leadership
Europe is the global leader in biogas and biomethane technologies andequipment manufacturing. This guarantees that investments in our value chain are revolving in our communities.
3. Renewable Energy Vectors Greening All End Uses
Revolutionising our energy system requires us to explore all sustainable solutions. Biogases are versatile renewable energy sources that can be harnessed across sectors, from electricity generation to heating, industry and transport.
It’s time to account for emissions fairly across all sectors and industries. The impactful emissions reductions achieved through biogas utilisation must be duly recognized
5. Turning Waste into Resources
Biogases have the power to transform waste into valuable resources while displacing high-carbon intensive waste treatment and management processes.
6. Contributing to water resilience
Water is a precious resource, and biogases production can contribute to its responsible use and storage.
7. Recycled Nutrients and Carbon improving Soils Health
Digestate is a valuable co-product of biogas production and its application to the soil can contribute to mitigate soil degradation in Europe. This can contribute to fight land abandonment and driving the sustainable transition
n agriculture.
8. Building the Internal Market for Biomethane
Based on existing assets the EU should establish a true single EUbiomethane market by removing barriers to trade within and across EU countries. This will further support the ability of the sector to meet energy demand in a cost-effective way.
