Panorama Green Gas 2023
The role of green gas in the energy transition
The brochure “Panorama Green Gas 2023” provides a comprehensive overview of the production, distribution and regulations surrounding green gas in the Netherlands. This document focuses on the role of bio-based feedstocks, fermentation technologies, and policy developments that contribute to the scaling up of green gas production.
Key insights
Availability and use of bio-based raw materials
-
- Wet and dry residual flows, such as manure, organic waste and agricultural crops, form the basis for fermentation and gasification.
- Cascading and high-quality use of bio-based raw materials are essential for sustainability and efficiency.
Technologies and production processes
-
- Anaerobic digestion en gasification are the main techniques for converting biogas into green gas.
- New innovations such as supercritical water gasification increase yield and applicability.
Distribution and infrastructure
-
- Green gas is supplied via the existing gas network distributed, thus preserving the existing infrastructure.
- Grid congestion poses a challenge for further expansion, requiring smart solutions such as local energy hubs are being investigated.
Economic and policy developments
-
- Goal: 2 billion m³ of green gas per year in 2030.
- SDE++ subsidies and Renewable Fuel Units (HBes) stimulate market development.
- International policy such as fit for 55 en RePowerEU accelerate the energy transition.
