The biogas future challenges for 2021

Biogas is a renewable, recyclable and green energy source that can be used directly as a fuel. With rapid technological development and the construction of many plants, especially in Europe, various aspects of research on biogas production technologies have been considerably advanced. To date, in fact, biogas plants can be defined as a link between territory, agricultural production and the agro-industrial system, contributing to better integration and greater sustainability and territorial management. Biogas represents one of the energy sources that will have an active role in the coming years. The new Green Deal proposed by Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission since September 2020, raises the previous objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 to at least 55%, and aims for 2050 achieve that of a Carbon Neutral Europe, powered 100% by renewable energy.
