- With the Green Deal, Europe aims to decarbonize by 2050 and renewable gas (including biogas and biomethane) will be central to achieve carbonneutrality target.
- Biomethane is an important fuel for the energy transition, targeting 350 bcm by 2050 (10% of the EU’s natural gas consumption).
- Capture & transformation of CO2 into environmentally friendly by-products is critical for the sustainable future of the world.
- Research in the last decade has proven that anaerobic systems are the perfect platform for CO2 capture and transformation
- Biomethanation is one of the processes enabled by anaerobic process that could convert CO2 into usable energy
- In-situ biomethanation: economically and energetically more feasible for small scale biogas plants
