EU's Biogas Expansion Risks Fossil Fuel Lock-in
A new report from the Methane Matters coalition warns that the EU's rapid scaling up of biogas and biomethane production could lead to pollution, fuel industrial livestock farming, and undermine climate goals.
The report, 'Biogas Policies in the EU: Levelling up or locking in?', reveals that the EU has allocated over €37bn in public funds to the biogas industry without ensuring proper regulation.
- Additional €28bn in private investments expected by 2030
- Risk of entrenching unsustainable biogas production
- Exposure to long-term climate and financial risks
The EU's rush to scale up biogas and biomethane production is uncontrolled and could lock in pollution, fuel industrial livestock farming, and undermine climate goals.
