The🌍largest #biomethane refuelling station just opened in 🇬🇧. This @CNG_FUELS site can refuel up to 8⃣0⃣HDVs/hour, cutting 70 000 tons of #CO2emissions annually. Indeed, #bioNGV can cut #HDV's carbon emissions by up to 9⃣0⃣%
A solution 🇪🇺 must benefit.

Running on #biomethane, such 🚛are🔑to decarbonise the #transport sector.
#BioNGV ensure more than 80% #CO2emissions & 70% nitrogen oxide reduction compared to #diesel ones.
Upcoming CO2 Standards for #HDV's legislation 🇪🇺must consider this solution

The Business Case and Roadmap presented by RGFI and its industry representatives have helped provide confidence for investment and we welcome the appt of Dr Ciara Beausang as another milestone https://www.farmersjournal.ie/government-plans-ad-capital-investment-scheme-752982

Harmen Dekker CEO European Biogas Association tells @RenewGasRGFI 2022 Biomethane conference that Biomethane is a lot more than “just energy” digestate offers an alternate to commonly used synthetic fertilisers

RGFI welcomes the commitment to  AD biomethane in CAP 2023 and looks forward to working with DAFM and DECC on a national strategy early in 2023 https://www.gov.ie/en/press-release/c2114-government-launches-updated-climate-action-plan-accelerating-ambition-in-reaching-climate-goals/

Welcome KPIs to deliver abatement in agriculture, in the CAP23, for AD Biomethane production - 1TWh by 2025 through 20 AD Biomethane plants, and 5.7TWh by 2030 through 200 AD plants @agriculture_ie @Dept_ECC @European_Biogas @IFAmedia @DairyIndustryIE @ERGaR_GreenGas @Teagasc

The pathway to #NetZero requires more than renewable electricity. We need #renewable gases & #hydrogen molecules.
Proud of this @IEABioenergy paper expanding on the role of #biomethane within #CircularEconomy.

Thanks to @RenewGasRGFI for inviting me to address the Ireland biomethane conference today.

AD is an area of immense potential and we want to harness it.

By the end of the decade, we could be charging our phones using electricity generated on farms - that's hugely exciting.
