Renewable gas - deployment, markets and sustainable trade

Renewable gases will be key components of a global energy system aiming at net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. With global fossil gas demand decreasing in emission reduction scenarios, biomethane and hydrogen (H2) will be most critical, with biomethane as the largest contributor, as it can be used without changing gas  transmission/distribution infrastructure or end user equipment.

The results of the project are captured in three separate reports (see links below).  The reports provide state-of-the-art overviews on prospects, opportunities and challenges for deploying biogas, biomethane and other renewable gases in energy markets. It discusses technological and sustainability issues of renewable gases from a deployment perspective, derives recommendations for policymakers, and identifies open research issues.
