One of the challenges in seeing the many opportunities biogas offer us in dealing with climate change – dealing with waste sustainably, reducing deforestation, protecting the environment, and producing clean energy – is that it is such a diverse range. But we are going to be hearing much more about those possibilities this fall, when world leaders convene in Glasgow for COP26.

The World Biogas Association (WBA) is bringing a strong message – “There’s No Net Zero without Biogas”. If we made efficient use of biogas, we would reduce global climate change emissions by 20%, create a global sustainable industry worth GBP 1 TRILLION and millions of jobs, many of them in rural areas; deliver home-grown, distributed, storable and dispatchable green energy; treat wastes that otherwise would produce harmful methane by recycling them into green energy, biofertilizer and biochemicals; and decarbonize difficult areas such as heavy good vehicles and agriculture.
