Advancing circular fertilisers: solutions for a sustainable agriculture. Adopting circular fertilisers is essential for creating a more sustainable agricultural system. By recycling organic waste, such as manure, fish waste, and industrial by-products, circular fertilisers can decrease the EU dependence on fertilisers imports and return valuable nutrients to the soil enhancing its health and fertility. The Sea2Land and Novafert final conference will provide insights into the innovative solutions and policy frameworks shaping the future of nutrient recycling. A policy debate on nutrient recycling will discuss barriers and policy incentives for circular fertilisers with a focus on Sea2Land, Novafert and Nutri-Know recommendations on how regulatory frameworks can support the widespread adoption of sustainable practices and drive innovation in the agricultural sector. Parallel sessions will bring together experts and enthusiasts in the field of sustainable agriculture to explore the latest advancements in circular fertilisers. The conference will be partially hybrid. Please note that only the plenary sessions will be live-streamed.

Brussels, 13 May 2025 – As the European Union charts its path toward the 2040 Climate Targets, the European Biogas Association (EBA) has unveiled its strategic vision for biogases as a cornerstone of a sustainable, circular, and resilient energy system. This follows the release of the REPowerEU Roadmap last week, that recognised the strategic importance of biogases in the energy mix. Representing the full biogases value chain, EBA is urging the European Commission to adopt a binding target of 100 billion cubic meters (bcm) of biogases by 2040, recognising its vital role in delivering energy security, emissions reductions, and economic development. “The biogases value chain stands ready to deliver circular, affordable, and secure energy for Europe. A binding 2040 target, backed by political vision and coordination across Member States is key to unlocking Europe’s own sizeable circular opportunities,” said Harmen Dekker, CEO of the European Biogas Association. The biogases value chain, encompassing biogas and biomethane production and use, as well as organic fertilisers and biogenic CO₂ utilisation, is uniquely positioned to contribute across three interlinked circular pathways: Despite this transformative potential, the biogases sector remains underrecognized in EU energy and climate policies. To address this, EBA proposes the establishment of […]

Brussels, 06/05/2025 – The European Biogas Association (EBA) strongly welcomes the European Commission’s updated REPowerEU Roadmap, published today, a timely and strategic framework to phase out the EU’s remaining dependence on Russian fossil fuels. The Roadmap outlines nine targeted actions to reduce and ultimately eliminate the Union’s reliance on Russian gas, oil, and nuclear fuel, an objective fully aligned with the EBA’s mission to accelerate the deployment of sustainable biogases across Europe. “Today’s announcement sends a clear signal: renewable gases will be indispensable to Europe’s energy future” said Harmen Dekker, CEO of the European Biogas Association. “The Roadmap confirms the long-term role of biogases in the EU’s energy mix. However, the sector needs a strong and tangible step forward. Therefore, EBA calls on the Commission to be bold, setting up concrete actions in the upcoming legislative proposals that will follow this Roadmap to fast-track the production and integration of biogases across Member States.” Dekker added: “Instruments such as a dedicated target for biogases ahead of 2040 and a European Charter for Biogases would provide the clarity and stability needed to support the sector’s growth and investment.” EBA will release a more detailed communication tackling those aspects in the coming days.

EBA MEMBERS ONLY! 21 May 2025 marks the deadline for the transposition of the third revision of the Renewable Energy Directive (the so called RED III) at national level. Three years later, in 2025, this topic is more relevant than ever, as we are faced with increasing geopolitical tensions and commercial threats to our economic and energy security. In this context, it is crucial that the EU steps up and swiftly implements its renewable energy strategy. With this in mind, EBA has carried out a mapping of the transposition progress in Member States, assessing how the new rules are being implemented at national level. This webinar is the opportunity to present the state of play from the perspective of the biogas and biomethane sector. The webinar will cover: Some context on RED III… RED III was adopted at EU level in 2023, following the European Green Deal, the adoption of the Climate Law, and the outbreak of the war in Ukraine. It aimed to provide a more ambitious response to the need to reduce our GHG emissions while strengthening our energy independence.

Common Futures conducted a study for the European Biogas Association titled “How Costs to Connect Biomethane to Gas Grids are Paid For.” Across the EU, different practices exist on how costs of connecting biomethane production installations to gas networks are paid for: by the producer, by network companies and ultimately their users through tariffs or a combination of both. So far, no comprehensive overview exists of how this cost allocation is organised in EU Member States. The aim of this study is to analyse how the cost of integrating biomethane into the gas grid is currently split between producers and infrastructure companies in EU Member States. The study analyses various types of infrastructure-related investments, breaking each of them down to various cost items. Additionally, the study will create an inventory of which party isoperationally responsible for specific grid-connection and upgrade equipment.Next to the main study aim, there are two secondary goals: Explore the report for more insights!
