Biomethane is a renewable alternative to natural gas derived from fossil fuels, subject to enormous price variability and geostrategic tensions; however, current European biomethane production technologies face challenges and need to be deployed, diversified and consolidated in the regions. This workshop will present the advances, innovations, opportunities and outcomes of the EU-funded HYFUELUP project, which aims to demonstrate a flexible pathway for efficient and cost-effective biomethane production through thermochemical technologies combined with renewable hydrogen.

Within this scope, the workshop also offers two round tables to debate the different perspectives of other EU-funded biomethane projects about the challenges and barriers of innovative biomethane technologies.
