The REA and CNG Services have been running the Green Gas Day since 2012. It is the largest industry gathering in the UK focused on green gases, covering biomethane and hydrogen, with over 200 people attending every year.
Along with actions to accelerate the roll out of energy efficiency measures and the deployment of renewables, green gases such as biomethane and low carbon hydrogen are key to reduce our reliance on imported fossil fuels from petrostates and dictators, as well as to deliver an energy future which is independent, secure, and stable.
After over a decade of steady growth in green gas plants, with 128 biomethane injection plants in operation, we are entering another phase of green gas development. Biomethane is once again being recognized for its cng versatility with a demonstrated track record in delivering dispatchable energy and emissions savings with little to no change in end user experience. In early 2025 we saw the official opening of the first subsidy-free biomethane plant based on a novel long-term purchase agreement between a biomethane plant developer and large pharmaceutical end user. Additionally, the introduction of the Simpler Recycling regulations in 2025, and the subsequent increase in feedstock available for biomethane production means there will be significant opportunities for biomethane developers.
Last year the Government confirmed the extension to the GGSS to 2028 but now they are looking at how to support biomethane after 2028 and will be consulting on this in autumn 2025. This conference will be the perfect opportunity to hear how Government thinking has developed on how to support biomethane.
Emphasis on GHG emissions savings through carbon capture utilisation and storage (CCUS) will be covered, in addition to the greater requirements and improvements in the monitoring of fugitive methane emissions and the impact on GHG savings. Updates on the progress of biomethane for transportation will be provided along with novel solutions such using biomethane to provide a secure supply for new data centres.
In the past year the Hydrogen Allocation Round 1 (HAR1) has been successfully completed and we await the outcome of HAR2. We need to build on this early success and take the learnings for future rounds and future projects. It’s important that the policies to support the Hydrogen Industry are able to keep the momentum going for the innovative projects underway, driving down costs and attract investment from commercial players entering the market. It’s an exciting time to get involved with the Hydrogen sector and UKGGD 2025 is the perfect event for getting involved and meeting with the right people.
