According to experts, biogas could become a central building block of a post-fossil energy economy – provided the conditions are right. These conditions are political, of course, but also technological in nature. The good news: suitable pumps and macerators are already available.

Biogas and biomethane currently provide approximately 5.5 GW of stable electrical capacity and could be expanded to up to 20 GW without requiring additional land – an enormous potential.(Source: license free via Pixabay / Pixabay)

The Ukraine crisis has reshaped the European biogas market. The disruption of energy supplies from Russia has brought energy security into focus. Biogas now plays a larger role in diversifying energy sources in Europe. The crisis has triggered political changes, investments, and innovations in the biogas sector – with growing interest in biogas as a fuel for transport and industry. This is creating new market opportunities and partnerships.

Germany has increased its biogas production to reduce dependence on Russian gas: According to industry reports, the sector currently produces enough to replace about 20 percent of former Russian gas imports. The EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED II) and related initiatives are accelerating biogas production across Europe – driven by the geopolitical situation.
