Introduction lecture - World Biogas Association

Speaker:
Charlotte Morton, Chief Executive, World Biogas Association
9:55 - 10:35 The revision of the TEN-E Regulation and the role of gas infrastructure
  • Renewable and low-carbon gases, such as green hydrogen and biomethane, are expected to play an important role in decarbonising the EU economy, especially in sectors like industry and mobility
  • One of the preconditions for a widespread take-up of hydrogen as a fuel is the availability of transport infrastructure to connect consumption and supply locations
  • The repurposing of gas infrastructure can reduce the cost of hydrogen infrastructure rollout
  • The Commission's legislative proposal for the revision of the TEN-E Regulation aims to set a framework for the planning and rollout of cross-border hydrogen networks in the EU by making investments in hydrogen infrastructure eligible for the status of projects of common interest (PCI) in the field of energy
  • The proposal also introduces smart gas grids to support the integration into the gas grid of locally produced renewable and low-carbon gases, in particular biomethane

 Experience and biomethane support scheme on the German market..
Biogaspartner project - platform for biomethane injection into gas network

Germany is the largest European biogas and biomethane market. The dynamic development of the sector results primarily from the appropriate legislation introducing favorable support schemes – the so-called EEG Act (Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz). There are currently 232 biomethane plants. In order to improve the process of biomethane injection into the gas network, the German regulator - DENA developed the “biogaspartner” project. The purpose of this project is to create a platform for biomethane injection into the gas network. Stakeholders throughout the supply chain join the project to support the development of the young market. The project started as a national initiative, but is now also becoming international.

Italian method. Biomethane for sustainable transport:

  • Biogas: current situation in Italy
  • Italian biomethane support scheme
  • BioCNG and bioLNG projects
  • Potential of Italian biomethane production
  • Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions thanks to biomethane - case study
The biogas sector in Italy was developing dynamically between 2008 and 2012 thanks to the feed-in tariff system (tariffa onnicomprensiva), which was then the highest throughout the European Union in terms of support for small biogas plants using slurry and energy crops. Over only two years (2010-2012), the number of biogas plants in Italy increased from 510 to 1264. In 2018, the government adopted the so-called Biomethane Decree – legislation aimed to develop the biomethane sector faster. The Italians will earmark €4.7 billion for this purpose by 2022. The scheme is based on granting certificates to methane producers, which certificates are then sold to fuel suppliers.

Dr Lorenzo Maggioni, Head of Research and Development, Italian Biogas Consortium
11:25 - 11:50 Biomethane market in France from the perspective of a distributor on the gas market
The biogas and biomethane market in France is one of the most dynamic in Europe. The amount of biomethane injected into the French distribution networks reached 1235 GWh in 2019, while the amount of BioNGV used by vehicles as fuel reached 250 GWh. In addition, 21 500 vehicles used NGV as fuel. 123 plants, out of a total of 860, injected biomethane into the natural gas distribution systems. At this point, almost 2 thousand biomethane injection projects are known to be at various stages of development, and their total potential production capacity is 24 TWh/year.

Speaker:
Bastien Praz, Chargé de développement Biométhane, GRDF
11:50 - 12:15 Quality requirements for biomethane in the DSO gas network
  • Potential and directions of gas network development
  • Types of gas networks and types of gas in distribution networks, as well as quality requirements for individual types of gas
  • Quality problems related to Wobbe index and gross calorific value of biomethane
  • Addition of propane, propane-butane, LNG or nitrogen to biomethane
  • Draft Regulation of the Minister of Climate and Environment amending the Regulation on detailed conditions for the operation of the gas system, defining the quality parameters of biomethane injected into the natural gas network

Speaker:
Anna Matuszewska, PhD. Eng., Łukasiewicz Research Network Institute - Automotive Industry Institute
12:15 - 12:40 Role of biomethane in the transport decabornization process
  • The challenges faced by transport in the context of the European Green Governance assumptions and REDII Directive.
  • Estimates of the potential of biomethane production in Poland.
  • Barriers to the development of the biomethane market in Poland.
  • Actions taken towards the development of the biomethane market in Poland, including industry initiatives: White Book on Biomethane and letter of intent for the biogas industry.
  • Biomethane vs National Index Target.
  • Biomethane in the context of reduction of GHG emissions in transport.
Speaker:
Izabela Samson-Bręk, Director for Quality and Sustainable Development, National Chamber of Biofuels
12:40 - 13:15 Projekt ERGaR project (European Renewable Gas Registry)
Cross-border certification scheme for biomethane and green hydrogen

The ERGarR project was established in 2016. It created foundations for cooperation between European biomethane certification registers, which will enable cross-border trade in certificates of origin. ERGaR is a Europe-wide recognized organization for virtual administering and balancing volumes of renewable gases distributed in the European natural gas network.

Speaker:
Flore Belin, Deputy Secretary General and Policy Adviser at ERGaR (European Renewable Gas Registry)
13:15 - 14:00 Break
