The experts who participated in the conference "The role of biogas in decarbonisation" of the bp Chair in Industrial Environment of the Universitat Jaume I of Castellón, two representatives of the firm Nedgia and the AEBIG Association, have highlighted the potential of this gas to promote the circular economy and also the growth of this type of plants in Spain. The current situation in Europe has highlighted two of the great challenges it must face in terms of energy: decarbonisation and independence of energy supply, specifically gas.

Natural gas is an indispensable resource in many sectors today, especially those with high thermal needs and whose processes are difficult to electrify. Renewable gases play a key role in Europe's future, especially biomethane (from biogas) in the short term and, in the medium and long term, hydrogen.

During the first session of the conference, Luis Puchades, vice-president of AEBIG, explained the benefits of this renewable gas, not only as an energy resource, but also as a mechanism for capturing carbon or methane and as a perfect example of circular economy that allows us to use the waste we generate to produce energy and fertilisers to increase the organic matter in our soils.

Puchades also pointed out the growing number of projects in our country, although they are not yet a reality due to the administrative barriers that exist, with start-up times that exceed two years.

In the second session, Francisco Torres, head of New Business Development at Nedgia, one of the main gas distributors, coincided in pointing out the potential of biogas and biomethane in Spain, which could reach a production of around 130 TWh per year and which would place us in third place in Europe, only behind France and Germany.

The speaker also explained Europe's objective of creating a single gas network, so that a consumer in Spain could benefit from renewable gas injected in Belgium, and vice-versa.
