A level playing field for the European biogas and biomethane markets

Interreg IVa Groen Gas

In the Interreg IVa Groen Gas - Grünes Gas programme, 63 partners from business, research and governments collaborated on 18 projects. JIN has been coordinating one of the projects, titled 'A level playing field for the European biogas and biomethane markets'. The project focused on policy and economic aspects related to biomethane. The main aim of this project has been to explore the key institutional differences between two countries, the Netherlands and Germany, in the area of biogas and biomethane, and to see if and to what extent such differences could result in market distortions in the internal EU market.

The final report of the project is available: A level playing field for the European biogas and biomethane markets - Case of the Netherlands and Germany: policy environment, key differences and harmonisation issues.
