As the UK accelerates towards net zero, biomethane has a vital role to play alongside renewable electricity,
energy efficiency and network investment. Already delivering carbon savings today, biomethane can
strengthen energy security, reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels and support economic growth across
the UK.
Future energy system modelling identifies a major role for renewable gases in a net-zero economy,
with scenarios requiring more than 60TWh of biomethane production by 2050. Biomethane can help
decarbonise sectors where electrification may be more challenging, including industrial processes,
transport, heat networks, combined heat and power (CHP) applications and data centres requiring reliable,
low-carbon energy. As the Government delivers its Clean Power 2030 ambitions, biomethane can provide
the flexible and dispatchable energy needed to complement variable renewable electricity generation.
Anaerobic digestion and biomethane production also provide significant benefits to agriculture and the
rural economy, transforming organic wastes into renewable energy and nutrient-rich biofertilisers, while
creating investment, employment and diversification opportunities for farmers and rural businesses.
The sector’s potential extends beyond renewable gas production. Biomethane plants can supply
sustainable biogenic CO₂ for use across UK industry, reducing dependence on imports, while Bioenergy
with Carbon Capture and Storage (BECCS) offers one of the UK’s most promising routes to delivering
the negative emissions required to achieve net zero. Emerging opportunities such as e-methane
and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) could further expand the contribution of green gases to the UK’s
decarbonisation journey.
The role for hydrogen is unclear at the moment as we wait for the Government’s updated hydrogen
strategy which is expected to provide greater clarity on the complementary roles of hydrogen and
biomethane in delivering the UK’s net-zero ambitions.
