Welcome to the new edition of the Green Gas Wire, your go-to source for the latest insights, trends, and updates on the European biogases value chain. The EU's probably most expected initiative on this first quarter of the year, theClean Industrial Deal, is out. This ambitious plan is set to revolutionise the industrial landscape by driving competitiveness and decarbonisation across Europe.
What's EBA's take on this? If the Deal is to deliver lasting European sustainability and competitiveness, providing a clear pathway for the fast rollout of biogases is a straightforward and fully homegrown available solution. In fact, EBA’s latest data show that the production of biogases was equivalent to 7% of EU gas consumption already in 2023 and can meet over 80% of the EU’s forecasted gas consumption in 2040.
1. Biogases are also the swiftest way to bolster the EU’s strategic autonomy and disentangle from fossil gas dependencies.
2. Europe is championing the production of biogas technologies right now, delivering EU’s leadership on clean technologies at global level. The production and use of homegrown renewable energy is vital to deliver a cost-efficient and resilient transition to net zero.
3. Besides, biogases are enablers of much needed grid flexibility: complementing the use of green electricity from variable energy sources with the most scalable and cost-competitive renewable gas. This will definitely enable the EU to decarbonise faster.
4. Biogases are circularity boosters: they are produced from waste and their production originates other co-products (organic fertiliser and biogenic CO2), providing sustainable alternatives to their fossil counterparts.
Staying ahead of latest trends can feel like a challenge, but don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. In this edition of the Green Gas Wire we’re bringing you top stories, exclusive interviews, groundbreaking research, and everything you need to stay on top of the latest trends. Curious? Keep reading for all the details you won’t want to miss to help you navigate the changing landscape with confidence!

Biogases Business Day
The Winter Edition 2025 of the EBA Biogases Business Days was a dynamic hub for collaboration in the biogases industry!
With 85 participants from 61 companies, the event, set against the stunning backdrop of the Alps, featured over 100 meetings and countless meaningful exchanges that initiated new business partnerships and initiatives.
Leading biomethane off-takers have come together in the Biomethane Off-takers Declaration to call for higher support for biomethane production and offtake. Led by the European Biogas Association, this initiative emphasises biomethane’s essential role in achieving Europe’s climate neutrality objectives while ensuring the continent’s global competitiveness. Companies like Costa Cruisers, PepsiCo or Knauf are supportive, join the movement and sign the Declaration today!
144 companies and associations worldwide have united to call for clear guidance on the role of market instruments for renewable gases in the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. This collective effort, led by EBA and other key organizations, emphasizes the necessity of recognizing market-based instruments to support the decarbonisation of industries.
Deep dive into industry trends: latest EBA publications
EBA has released "Decoding Biogases 2025," a detailed publication on biogas production, utilization, and sector statistics. This resource provides insights into the environmental and societal benefits of biogas, its role in the future energy landscape, and its contribution to waste management, grid stability, and green job creation.
As part of our Social Acceptance campaign, we have launched our Instagram account in order to gain visibility, educate and raise awareness to general public. Join our online community and don't miss anything!
Did you know? Biogas is a key player in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals! EBA has attended the 12th session of United Nations Economic Commission for Europe’s Group of Experts on Gas at the UN Nations Palace in Geneva, highlighting the enabling role of biogases in attaining the Sustainable Development Goals. .
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Anastasiya Agapova as Technical Manager of the EBA. To mark this exciting new chapter, we asked her a series of questions to learn more about her background and discuss her vision for the future of EBA’s Technical team.
During the meeting, we provided updates on our work, with a focus on the business plan for the eQATOR technology. The discussion explored its market development potential, feasibility compared to existing solutions, and key insights into market risks and impact pathways. Identifying the most promising market segments for adoption will be key to ensuring the success of this technology.
The FertiCovery project has been launched to identify and analyse the best available technologies for recycling fertilisers from secondary raw materials. This initiative aims to promote balanced nitrogen and phosphorus flows, enhance soil health, and support sustainable agricultural practices across Europe.
EBA emphasises the importance of circular fertilisers in promoting efficient agriculture and sustainable food systems. By recycling nutrients from secondary raw materials, circular fertilisers enhance soil health, reduce dependency on imports, and support the EU's green goals.
On 26 February, four EU-funded projects participating in the biomethane cluster along with ALFA hosted a webinar to present their second joint report on policy and market recommendations for advancing biomethane production in the EU.
The GreenMeUp project has released a factsheet detailing the market dynamics, production routes, and policy frameworks for biomethane in seven European target countries. This initiative aims to strengthen the biomethane market and support the EU's goal of producing 35 bcm by 2030.
