BIP EUROPE
The BIP is an industrial partnership in which policy makers, industry and other stakeholders team up with the goal to support the achievement of the target of 35 billion cubic metres annual production and use of sustainable biomethane by 2030, and to create the preconditions for a further ramp-up of its potential towards 2050. The BIP is divided in 6 different Task forces.
Duration: Ongoing
The objective
Task Force 2 works to identify and scale up best practices, initiate creative solutions and overcome barriers to speed up investments in new biomethane projects across the value chain. As part of its work, the Task Force works to develop best practices on how to accelerate biomethane project development and investments and permitting procedures. The Task Force is also focused on exploring the emerging market for biogenic CO₂, assessing the use of biodegradable plastics in biomethane plants, investigating biomethane supply chain security, and compiling a report on digestate.
FEAD’s involvement
As of 2024, FEAD Secretary General, Paolo Campanella, is co-chair of Task force 2.
