UK’s National Energy System Operator analyzes potential role of biomethane
The biomethane insight explores how sustainable biomethane could be scaled up through to 2050, and the potential value this could deliver across the energy system. The report sets out findings on the benefits biomethane could deliver in areas including low-carbon dispatchable power, hard-to-electrify industry and transport, and greenhouse gas removals. Collaboration across sectors will be important to understand the opportunities and risks of scaling up biomethane.
The independent AFRY study was commissioned to strengthen the evidence base on the potential role of an interregional hydrogen backbone in Great Britain’s future energy system. It explores the possible system impacts, benefits, risks and trade-offs of developing hydrogen network infrastructure across regions. It informs discussion and future decision-making without endorsing a specific infrastructure pathway or pre-judging policy, regulatory or investment decisions.
