as follows: The biomethane industry wanted to advance the feeding-in of biogas into the German natural gas network. Unlike wind and solar energy, biogas is continuously available and can enrich the energy mix. But the use of biogas also raises a large number of controversial issues: Which processes are [...] suited, which raw materials result in the best climate footprint and profitability, and where does biogas contribute the most towards realising the energy transition? One example of the use of fed-in biogas is in combined heat and power generation (CHP). In this scenario, the gas is used both for generating [...] creating the market-oriented platform for biogas feed-in, dena sent out a signal to initiate optimisation processes. By bringing together major players from industry, the sciences, and society on the platform, industry-specific know-how is consolidated. The Biogas Partnership is based on three core points
complex requirements for the documentation of the trade and use of biomethane as easy as possible, dena developed the biogas register together with 14 leading companies from the biogas and biomethane industry. With its help, biomethane producers can verify the quantity and quality of biomethane in the [...] documentation. The biogas register is regularly certified according to the prevailing quality and safety requirements. Auditors ensure the correctness of the information; and dena, in the role of the registrar, subsequently checks them for plausibility. The benefits: Since the biogas register went online [...] Industry standard for biogas The challenge was as follows: The use of biomethane is subsidised by the government in a number of different ways, such as via the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) for electricity production, via the Renewable Heating Act (EEWärmeG) for heat production, or via the European
