Europe’s biomethane production capacity surpassed 8.2 bcm in mid-2026 with investments reaching €36bn, signaling strong financial support for expansion. If fully realized, capacity could increase by an additional 9 bcm by 2030, bolstering energy security and renewable gas supply within existing infrastructure.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You faced a growing opening as billions flow into biomethane. Europe’s existing gas grids now back renewable gas growth, so you must target rapid project deployment in under-served countries to avoid missing out.
