Advertisement The European Biogas Association (EBA) has welcomed the adoption of the EU Taxonomy yesterday by the European Commission as a means to channel investments towards sustainable activities across the EU. The decision to label the production of biogas from anaerobic digestion (AD) as a low-carbon activity recognises its valuable contribution to climate-neutrality, even though the chosen criteria are not fully aligned with the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). Biogas production enables greenhouse gas emissions savings in agriculture and waste management, as acknowledged by the Methane Strategy released last October. The regulation also supports the role of biogas and biomethane in providing renewable heat and power and recognises the need to integrate ‘low-carbon gases’, including biomethane, in existing natural gas grids. This sends a positive signal to investors and operators across the whole energy value chain for further deployment of biogas and biomethane in the coming years.
