Biomethane (upgraded biogas) offers solutions to several human long-term challenges: climate, soil fertility, clean water, and good air quality. Biomethane turns a waste problem into a resource. Scientific findings show that biomethane contributes, directly or indirectly, to every one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The potential of biomethane is too significant to be overlooked in the context of the EU transport policy. The problem is: EU regulation hampers any efforts to advance biogas for mobility. This issue was discussed in a webinar, organized by The EBA, MEP Heidi Hautala, and the Nordic biogas associations (Suomen Biokierto ja Biokaasu ry, Energigas Sverige, Biogas Danmark, Energigass Norge):
