An ambitious carbon capture and storage (CCS) project at a Swedish cement plant could help the country achieve carbon-neutral cement production in the country by 2030.

One of the big topics of recent years for the gases industry and society alike has been carbon dioxide (CO2) and specifically, how we deal with it in the context of decarbonisation and sustainability.

As energy prices continue to soar across Europe, biomethane could – once scaled-up – cover 30-40% of the EU gas demand at considerably lower cost, according to a report by the European Biogas Association (EBA).

Air Liquide will develop its largest ever biomethane production unit in Rockford, Illinois, US.

Dutch beer company Koninklijke Grolsch N.V (Grolsch) is investing in the energy transition by using biomethane to supply energy for its beer production process.

The decarbonisation potential of biomethane is being fully realised following a record-breaking year for the deployment of biomethane production plants across Europe.

Speaking at the 2021 Anaerobic Digestion and Bioresources Association (ADBA) National Conference on 14th December, Lord Callanan reiterated just how beneficial biomethane could become when decarbonising and ‘levelling up’ the UK economy.

Belgian energy company Fluxys LNG is contributing to the decarbonisation of industry by using its liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal to convert biomethane to bioLNG.

It is estimated that 30 to 40% of Europe’s total gas consumption could be made up of sustainable biomethane by 2050, according to a report released by the European Biogas Association (EBA).
