What happens to biogas?
• Burning biogas for electricity and heat
• Sweden and Finland upgrade almost all their biogas to biomethane

• Lack of biomethane trade prevents further biomethane developments
• Cross-border trade is limited to bilateral agreements (CH-DE, DK-DE); international trade is mainly done through road transport
• The potential of biomethane production is not equal to the national demand and the international trade would eliminate this discrepancy
• Green Gas Grids have identified the biomethane potentials, while BIOSURF currently has the objective to develop national biomethane registries

Support schemes across Europe
• Feed-in Tarrifs the most common support scheme
• Heading towards a competitive RES market
• Unpredictive support schemes
![Page 26: Market overview of the biogas and biomethane industry ...cngservices.co.uk/images/BiomethaneDay/2016/02Erneszt-Kovacs-EBA... · Market overview of the biogas and biomethane industry](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022806/5cbfb7b588c99331398bb0f2/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Employment provided by the biogas sector
• -3.6% fall in jobs in both RES and biogas
• On the long run (2011 – 2013):• -31.3% RES• -7% Biogas

The nearest future...
Ups:UK – expected growth in biogas and biomethane production until the end of
the decade; the growth highly depending on FiT, RHI and available feedstock
Italy – boom in 2012 (doubled capacity), more to be expected on biomethane
Denmark – targets for manure in AD plants
Sweden – constant developments; tax exemption for biogas until the end of 2020
France – new ”Energy Transition” adopted; suport for biogas increased up to 20%, up to €13 mio. and €20 mio income for the biogas sector in 2016 and 2017; new biomethane injection plants open on a weekly basis
The Netherlands – stagnation of the market in 2015 but more than doubled SDE+ budget; dairy industry as a potential beneficiary
Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania – new markets
The nearest future

The nearest future...
Downs:Germany – EEG 2014 affects heavily new agricultural plants and makes the
economically unviable; the EEG 2014 however favours small installations up to 75 kW operating with at least 90% of manure/sewage sludge/biowaste.
Czech Republic, Cyprus – support ceased in 2014
Austria – the industry has stalled; currently only upgrades and refurbishments of existing plants (built before 2012)
Spain – support schemes drastically reduced and the investors’ confidence eroded; law suits ongoing
The nearest future
