Industry, RNG Coalition Call for Biomethane Imports To Be Automatically Included in EU Database
Pan-European gas industry association Eurogas announced November 22 that together with seven other industry organizations it has called on the European Commission to “immediately and fully” include biomethane and biomethane-based imports in the Union Database.
Excluding the certification of these fuels would directly hinder imports and exports of biomethane to the EU, particularly from the US, UK and Ukraine, Eurogas said in a press release. “It will also impact biomethane-based fuels such as biomethanol, for which plants rely on biomethane injected to the gas grid, preferring this over other modes of transport which may have economic, environmental and technical downsides. Indeed, this decision could also impact other fuels like hydrogen.”
