On 27.02, the Emergency Ordinance was adopted, which establishes the legislative framework for the development of the biomethane sector, including its injection into the natural gas infrastructure, according to FPE.
Biomethane can represent an important component of the Romanian energy mix, that is why Federația Patronală a Energiei, together with its members, welcomes this first step towards the creation of the necessary legislative framework for this technology.
The energy sector awaits the consolidation of this stage through the adoption of secondary legislation, which is a prerequisite for the development of biomethane projects and the realization of investments in conditions of predictability.
Biomethane is a renewable gas that is produced by purifying biogas from organic waste (manure, agricultural waste, sewage sludge). Biomethane is carbon from the biological cycle, which does not mobilize carbon from geological reserves, so its environmental impact is lower.
For Romania, biomethane brings benefits on several levels:
- Recovering agricultural waste with energy production, contributing to national energy security;
- Supporting the economy in rural areas;
- Meeting the country's climate goals.
