Project: Metrology for biogas
As the EU’s natural gas resources continue to decline, it is becoming increasingly dependent on imported natural gas. In response, the European Commission has issued directives and targets to support the use of biogas and encourage the diversification of the European natural gas supply. These targets specify that by 2020, 20 % of energy consumption should come from renewable sources and biofuels should provide at least 10 % of transport petrol and diesel consumption. There is now an urgent need to significantly increase the amount of biogas injected into natural gas transport and distribution grids, but this cannot happen until robust and reliable measurements are available to assess the quality of the gases. This project will develop and validate methods so that the gas industry can reliably measure key properties of biogas and biomethane. This will result in the increased use of these renewable fuels throughout the EU and improve the security of the energy supply.
