Biomethane Industrial Partnership

The European Commission (EU) through its Biomethane Industrial Partnership (BIP) initiative, a Public-Private Partnership aims to achieve the target of increased annual biomethane production. It aims to use up to 35 million cubic meters by 2030. Simultaneously, it will make a significant contribution to an integrated netzero energy system, diversifying farmer incomes and ensuring a circular approach. Commenting on the BIP, Executive VicePresident Timmermans said, “Europe has huge potential for the production of biomethane. Biomethane creates new economic opportunities in rural areas. The BIP that we launch will be instrumental to increase the production and use of biomethane across the EU.” Scania AB is the cofounder of this partnership.
