Fortunately we have two very good developed energy grids: Power and gas grid 2050 climate and energy targets without involving the gas grid would cause is a great mistake

Current situation - Challenges Change in used feedstock with a big potential from non food/feed sources We expect a further technology jump of the technique Current energy situation is not a driver for further development Good cooperation between biogas and natural gas stake holders ~ 180 methane filling stations ~ 10,000 methane cars „already“ running Big lack Political interest Market demand Only a few cities with methane busses Only few lorries CHP after grid injection is at the beginning We need an agreement on political level about the future part of the gas grid and biomethane in a 2050 target

Impact of landfill directive, waste frame work directive and circular economy Waste framework directive (2008/98/EC) Article 10 paragraph 2: ensure that waste undergoes recovery operations Article 10 paragraph 3: to improve recovery, waste shall be collected separately if technically, environmentally and economically practicable and shall not be mixed with other waste or other material with different properties. Article 11 paragraph 1: promote high quality recycling and, to this end, shall set up separate collections of waste where technically, environmentally and economically practicable and appropriate to meet the necessary quality standards for the relevant recycling sectors. Article 22 paragraph 1: if possible: (a) the separate collection of bio-waste with a view to the composting and digestion of bio-waste; (b) the treatment of bio-waste in a way that fulfils a high level of environmental protection; (c) the use of environmentally safe materials produced from bio-waste.
