Foreword
As 2022 is dawning, the future is looking bright for
the European renewable gas sector. In 2021, Denmark registered a record amount
of biogas being supplied to its national gas network. By the end of the year,
25% of the gas supplied to the grid was biogas. This was up by 4% compared to
the end of 2020. Since 2013, 51 biogas facilities have been connected to the
Danish national gas grid. It is expected that by 2030, 75% of gas demand in
Denmark will be met by biogas, and that 100% of the power supply will be
provided by renewable gas from 2034 onwards.
On the evening of the 29th December
2021, the share of fossil-generated power in the UK grid reached almost 6% (1.7
GW), an all-time low. Renewable energies, such as biomass, wind and hydro took
over coal and gas to produce as much as 65% of the country’s electricity,
equivalent to 24.19 GW...
