United Kingdom
The United Kingdom is becoming more and more interested in biomethanisation and in biomethane for vehicle use, according to a report from biogasmax. The UK Gas Industry Trade Association, along with NGVA Europe (Natural Gas Vehicle Association) and REA (Renewable Energy Association) are lobbying for biomethane in order to get financial support from the government. They are claiming equivalent treatment for biomethane as that accorded to green electricity, so that gas suppliers could offer green gas tariffs.
The lobbying follows a successful one-day conference in March hosted by NGVA, Environmental Protection UK and Cenex, on the theme of biomethanism as a renewable biofuel.
Since 2005 – 2006, six new biomethanisation plants have been built in the United Kingdom, increasing UK capacity by over 100%.
