European Biogas Association applauds increased RED ambition but regrets missed opportunity to include biomethane target

Brussels, 15 September 2022 – “The European Parliament report on the Renewable Energy Directive revision, endorses a target of 45% renewable energy consumption in the EU by 2030, following  the  REPowerEU proposal in May 2022 to accelerate the continent’s independence from Russian gas. The European Biogas Association applauds the increased level of ambition, compared to the current target set at 32%. However, the Parliament missed an opportunity to completely streamline the report with the goals of REPowerEU by omitting a binding target to deliver the 35 bcm of sustainable biomethane by 2030, included in the REPowerEU proposal. Explains Giulia Cancian, Secretary General of the European Biogas Association.
