Ladies and Gentlemen,<\/strong><\/p>\n We are handing over to you the next DISE Energy report on the role of gaseous fuels in the energy transition \u2018From Natural Gas to Biomethane. Decarbonising the Polish gas industry’. This time we have comprehensively analysed the potential for the use of biomethane in Poland as an alternative fuel to natural gas. This study is the result of a project carried out by DISE Energy in cooperation with the European Climate Foundation, and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the ECF team for their support and very good and creative cooperation.<\/p>\n In previous studies, we have focused on analysing the legitimacy of using natural gas as an interim fuel in Poland’s energy transition process. Following Russia’s attack on Ukraine, and the ensuing energy crisis, significant risks related to Europe’s dependence on gas supplies from eastern directions materialised and the issue of security of supply became a priority. In response, the European Commission proposed ambitious targets for the use of renewable fuels, including biomethane, as a local fuel and alternative to natural gas in the REPowerEU package. This approach, based on the diversification of supply and the use of local resources and synergies between the agricultural and energy sectors, is also crucial from the point of view of Poland, which has so far obtained most of its natural gas for energy purposes from Russia.<\/p>\n We are convinced, which is also confirmed by the analysis conducted in our study, that Poland has very good conditions for the development and production of biomethane and its use in the process of decarbonisation of many sectors of the economy. Therefore, we have attempted to formulate strategic directions of actions necessary for the development of this RES sub-sector. We sincerely hope that the conclusions of our report will be used by the Polish government in the process of updating strategic documents concerning energy and climate policy and will serve to formulate a sectoral policy aimed at systemic support for the efficient production of energy from biomethane in Poland.<\/p>\n Over the last 20 years, there has been much talk about the potential that agricultural biogas has in Poland, and successive governments have made ambitious plans to use biogas for energy purposes in Poland. Unfortunately, this ended mainly in assumptions and declarations. Meanwhile, in European Union countries such as Germany, Denmark, France and the Czech Republic, the development of biomethane has become a viable economic programme, resulting in the establishment of hundreds of biogas and biomethane plants. The key success factors for the development of this sector in these countries are synthesised in this report.<\/p>\n As a gas produced from renewable raw materials, biomethane meets the taxonomic criteria of \u2018\u2019sustainable development\u2018\u2019 and, in terms of its physical and chemical characteristics, is directly suitable for replacing natural gas. Electricity generation from biomethane, in conjunction with other sources of \u2018green energy\u2019 such as wind and photovoltaic power plants, has a positive effect on increasing the flexibility of RES energy supply due to the possibility of stable production independent of the time of day and year, as well as weather conditions.<\/p>\n Biomethane is a valuable and limited resource that should ultimately be used mainly to generate electricity or heat directly for end-users. In this way, biomethane energy can make a real contribution to the decarbonisation of Poland’s energy mix and respond to the new demand that will be generated by the growing trend of electrification of many sectors of the economy. For this to happen, however, concrete solutions are needed to create a regulatory framework and provide effective financial support to stimulate investment in the initial phase of this process. In addition, biomethane production will positively influence the transformation of the agricultural sector and, in the long term, provide additional financial transfers to farmers, who will be able to gain a tangible benefit from the economically optimal use of waste from agricultural production for energy purposes.<\/p>\n I wish you a pleasant reading of our report, and I invite decision-makers to take advantage of the good practices and recommendations presented in the report, the implementation of which will help to create a well-operating biomethane energy subsector in Poland.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]Yours sincerely,<\/p>\n Remigiusz Nowakowski<\/strong> [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”20″][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1716970068027{padding-bottom: 30px !important;background-color: #f9f7f4 !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”6923″ img_size=”200×200″ alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_shadow_border” image_hovers=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1726995234185{padding-top: 30px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#a59559″ css=”.vc_custom_1716973468075{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1727084767208{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;background-color: #a59559 !important;}”]<\/p>\n Research fellow at the Institute [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#a59559″ css=”.vc_custom_1716973488650{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_accordion active_tab=”0″ disable_keyboard=”yes” title_size=”h6″ style=”3″][vc_accordion_tab title=”Read more”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Expert of the Eastern Policy Forum and assistant professor at the Institute of International and Security Studies, University of Wroc\u0142aw.

The authors present conclusions and recommendations, which are the result of an in-depth analysis of statistical data, technology and legislative development trends, an assessment of the direction of changes in the domestic and European markets, and take into account macroeconomic factors. The report includes a number of own analyses and complements previous studies, providing the latest information in an accessible manner, supplemented by expert commentary. The combination of economic analyses with an assessment of trends in the development of biomethane supply and demand clearly positions gas in the context of its viability as an alternative energy carrier.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#cacaca” css=”.vc_custom_1726990650254{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_accordion active_tab=”0″][vc_accordion_tab title=”Read more”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Chapter one is a compendium of the most important knowledge on the parameters and characteristics of biomethane, its production, purification and application technologies. This chapter presents the potential of biomethane as a tool to decarbonise sectors of the national economy. Chapter two is oriented towards presenting the regulatory and legal framework that operates in the domestic biomethane market. The chapter includes a discussion of targets as well as guidance documents, which are not legally binding. The chapter discusses, inter alia, the European Green Deal, the EU Methane Strategy, REPowerEU, the positioning of biomethane in the national energy and climate strategy, including the National Energy and Climate Plan 2021-2030 and the Energy Policy of Poland until 2040. The authors complement the presentation of the documents with a commentary, which makes it possible to clearly indicate the relationship between the development of the biomethane market in Poland and the selected documents and policies. Of particular importance is the presentation of the evolution of the national legislation, while the chapter’s conclusions, which are also recommendations, comprehensively present the importance of biomethane in the coming decades. Chapter three is a case study, being a meticulous analysis of data on biomethane potential and production capacity in selected EU countries, the number of existing biomethane plants and support systems (mechnisms) for biomethane production. The quantitative and qualitative discussion of the biomethane market at EU level is then complemented by specific examples of selected German, French, Danish and Czech markets. Chapter four analyses the production potential of biomethane and the demand for this gas in Poland. A very valuable element of this part of the report is an overview of the feedstock category and its geographical dispersion. The chapter presents a reference case study of investment in biomethane production.<\/p>\n Infrastructural opportunities and constraints for the development of the biomethane market in Poland are discussed in Chapter five, which details the technical conditions and opportunities for the integration of biomethane facilities into the gas system. The technical characteristics of the natural gas distribution network in the context of its feasibility for biomethane are discussed in great detail. This aspect is also complemented by an analysis of the absorptive capacity of the gas network for biomethane and an analysis of the DSO’s efforts to increase it. An important component of the chapter is the quantification of potential customers and the evolution of the market in the next three decades. Chapter six is dedicated to an analysis of the economics of biomethane, including the costs of generating heat and power from biogas and biomethane in context. The chapter presents the criteria for the competitiveness of biogas and its potential for decarbonisation of the power and heat sector, indicating in the conclusion that in Poland in 2035, the LCOE for biomethane sources may be comparable to the averaged LCOE for gas sources.<\/p>\n 2. Report evaluation.<\/strong><\/p>\n DISE’s expert report comes at a time when we are in the process of updating PEP2040 and the National Energy and Climate Plan. This is the most appropriate time to present a synthetic but factually supported assessment of the potential of biomethane as a tool for decarbonising the economy. The report combines an interdisciplinary approach and the conclusions take into account the three key components of policy-making and policy documents: climate neutrality in a broad sense, the importance of new sectors for economic development and energy security issues. DISE’s experts present clear recommendations, supported by the findings developed in the study. The cost perspective presented in the Report, including the presented possibility of equalling, by the middle of the next decade, the cost of electricity generated from biogas to that of natural gas, foster optimism and draw attention to the significant market potential.<\/p>\n An in-depth review of the markets provides an understanding of the multifaceted dimension of biomethane, which can be sourced from multiple feedstocks and used in a variety of sectors. The complexity of the issues surrounding this gas is also demonstrated by the recommendation to consider developing a dedicated biomethane sector strategy. The report is an analytical piece presenting an expert assessment of the current situation of the industry, including an indication that such a strategy could be part of defining a transformational path for the Polish gas industry. The expert assessment and statistical analysis of the data form the basis of the conclusions and recommendations formulated. It is hard not to agree with the authors that we should give biomethane a role as one of the main tools for decarbonisation of the gas industry and the national economy; this is backed up by extensive analytics and hard facts.<\/p>\n The DISE study is a comprehensive, multi-dimensional document, a comprehensive analysis of the importance of biomethane, which takes a closer look at the basic information about the technology, critically examines the state of market development, the technological readiness of the infrastructure and economic issues. This makes the Report an important voice for many industries and the economy, and a must-read for the gas industry.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n Prof. Jakub Kupecki, D.Sc. <\/strong> [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” content_placement=”middle” bg_type=”image” parallax_style=”vcpb-vz-jquery” bg_image_new=”id^12366|url^https:\/\/dise.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/foto-www-bometan-2.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^Produkcja biometanu|description^null” bg_image_repeat=”no-repeat” bg_image_size=”contain” parallax_sense=”50″ bg_override=”full” parallax_content=”parallax_content_value” fadeout_row=”fadeout_row_value” enable_overlay=”enable_overlay_value” seperator_enable=”seperator_enable_value” ult_hide_row=”ult_hide_row_value” css=”.vc_custom_1717611954057{padding-top: 250px !important;padding-bottom: 250px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#048598″ css=”.vc_custom_1604922310571{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”3″][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1726997075440{padding-top: 40px !important;}”]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9467″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center” onclick=”custom_link” img_link_target=”_blank” image_hovers=”false” link=”https:\/\/europeanclimate.org” css=”.vc_custom_1726997199303{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” gap=”20″ bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#f2f2f2″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9469″ img_size=”590×380″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9468″ img_size=”590×380″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” gap=”20″ bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#f2f2f2″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9471″ img_size=”590×380″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9470″ img_size=”590×380″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" [vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_color_value=”#f4f4f5″ css=”.vc_custom_1605259894792{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text] REPORT From natural gas to biomethane Decarbonising the Polish gas industry [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”shadow” border_width=”2″ el_width=”80″ accent_color=”#e0e0e0″ css=”.vc_custom_1670401169655{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text] Report premiered at 10th Energy Congress September 25, 2024 [\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” parallax=”content-moving” bg_type=”image” parallax_style=”vcpb-default” bg_image_new=”id^9450|url^https:\/\/dise.org.pl\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/baner_biometan-www-1970×450-tlo.jpg|caption^null|alt^null|title^biometan|description^null” bg_image_repeat=”no-repeat”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”9475″ img_size=”560×400″ alignment=”center” image_hovers=”false”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”90px”][vc_single_image…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dise.org.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9448"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dise.org.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dise.org.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dise.org.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dise.org.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9448"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/dise.org.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9476,"href":"https:\/\/dise.org.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9448\/revisions\/9476"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dise.org.pl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
