European biomethane production hits 7B m3 by Q1 2025

In Belgium, Europe’s biomethane sector is growing, but not fast enough. Installed production capacity hit 7 billion cubic meters (bcm) annually by the end of Q1 2025, up 9% from 2024. Yet growth is beginning to slow, despite investor appetite remaining strong, even slightly higher than last year (€28 billion). This mismatch highlights the urgent need for clear policy strategy on biogases, binding targets as proposed in a recent sector’s call for a 2040 Roadmap, and swift regulatory action to accelerate the sector before momentum fades.
