New study shows that monetary value of whole-system benefits of biomethane far outweighs current production costs
Brussels 14/02/23 –A new report from the European Biogas Association shows that, in 2030, the whole-system benefits of biomethane production in the EU27 + UK could range from 38-78€ billion per year, rising to 133-283€ billion by 2050.
