France Announces Measures for Biogas, Biomethane
The French government announced two additional measures to accelerate the production of biogas in France, including a revaluation of the purchase rate against inflation.
At the end of June, 442 installations, mostly agricultural methanizers, were injecting renewable methane into France's natural gas networks. Their total production capacity is 7.6 terawatt-hours (TWh) per year, or +18% compared to the end of 2021, the Ministry of Energy Transition said. But France wants to increase the share of renewables to at least 10% of its gas consumption by 2030, compared to about 2% today.
