Collaboration on the vision for renewable gas biomethane as RGFI hosts 2nd Regatrace workshop

A vision for the renewable gas industry in Ireland has emerged from extensive collaborative work led by RGFI,  through industry partnership and as part of the Regatrace EU project to create a stable, reliable and common market for biomethane and other renewable gases in Europe.

Over 60 delegates, ranging from government officials and academics to service providers and consultants, attended the 2^nd Regatrace workshop, hosted by RGFI, on 29 July 2021. The workshop presented a collaborative vision for renewable gas in Ireland as

“A consumer led, at scale, renewable gas industry

• decarbonising difficult to decarbonise sectors ie the thermal demands of industry, and agriculture
• supporting sustainable, profitable agriculture and the circular rural economy
• supporting sustainable transport
• aligned with EU and national sustainability and climate action policies
• underwritten by charter “

The workshop also considered the Roadmap for renewable gas with delegates rating elements such as a charter to underpin environmental and social commitments, delivering a pilot AD scheme in the short term, green gas certification and greater public communication, amongst others.
