The GreenWave Podcast by Synergy International Episode 65: Biogas, Biomethane, and Europe’s Search for Energy Security

SYNI, your hostess who adores value-addd context, examines how Europe’s Search for Energy Security could be mitigated by a serious buildout of Biogas and Biomethane. Europe has been handed another extreme reminder that imported gas is more than just a commodity. It is a geopolitical exposure with a price tag attached. The war in Iran has ripped through LNG markets, pushed benchmark European gas prices up by as much as 70% at peak price, and dragged energy security back to the front of the policy table once again. And that is the deeper problem here. Europe keeps treating gas shocks as episodes, when they are really features of an import-dependent system. So today we are asking a plain question. How much of this import vulnerability could Europe shave off with a serious biogas and biomethane build-out, and how quickly? As always with SYNI, answers are nuanced and based on facts and figures. So please listen and hopefully learn a thing or two about the current state of affairs in Europe.
