EBA: Europe Should Recognize Renewable Gas as a Solution to Avoid Gas Price Hikes
The EU is fully immersed in an energy transition, but while renewable electricity is increasing, the European Commission finds that the bloc is still 90 percent dependent on imported fossil gas with not enough gas to heat homes and supply industries in the post-pandemic recovery, and refill stocks before the winter.
The European Biogas Association (EBA) highlights that studies from the International Energy Agency (IEA), Gas for Climate, Eurogas, Cerre, or CE Delft evaluating the potential of biomethane, suggest that renewable gas could cover 30-40 percent of the gas demand in Europe by 2050.
