With
a suite of European renewable energy policies and regulations introduced over
the past two decades to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and support the
transition to a low-carbon energy system, last year was an important one for
green gases such as biomethane and hydrogen. Both Europe and the UK published a
number of policy documents to refocus existing strategies and policy frameworks
on energy security and to reduce reliance on Russian gas.
A
secure, domestic low-carbon energy system is the ambition of each and every
nation in Europe, but the potential varies vastly depending on the size, nature
and maturity of the target countries and each sector, respectively. As
strategic business consultants, guiding clients through the complex and ever
changing policy, regulatory and market landscape in the bioeconomy, it is
essential that we keep abreast of changes and evaluate the impact on or
opportunities for our target sectors. This article summarises some key recent
activities relevant to biomethane, and looks at the future of the anaerobic
digestion (AD) industry in the UK.
