France publishes plan to boost biomethane production to 82 TWh in 2035
While the text focuses on low-carbon electrification and the revival of nuclear power, it also sets targets for so-called “non-electric” sectors. Biomethane is among the levers identified to reduce the share of fossil fuels, which is expected to increase from 58% in 2023 to 40% in 2030.
The PPE 3 forecasts an increase in biomethane production from 9 TWh today to 47-82 TWh in 2035. An intermediate milestone is set at 44 TWh injected in 2030, almost three times more than the current capacity of 15.7 TWh with more than 800 injection sites in service.
