Optimism and the challenge of gaining social acceptance
The 5th Renewable Gas Exhibition and the 18th International Bioenergy Congress concluded on October 2nd in Valladolid after two days in which the growth in the number of exhibitors, and the size of their stands, having to extend by one more pavilion, and the number of visitors, 15% more than the previous year, confirm the optimism and the real progress that the biogas and biomethane sector is experiencing in Spain.
Currently, Spain has over 200 biogas plants and 17 biomethane plants in operation , with more than 270 projects in the permitting or construction phase , reflecting exponential growth: in 2019 there was only one plant feeding into the grid, and today there are nearly 20. There is also a consensus that these facilities should be conceived not only as energy projects, but also as agricultural and environmental ones. And, of course, technological innovation and the training of qualified personnel are essential to guaranteeing the efficiency and long-term operation of these plants.
“ This edition has been the most participatory to date, with new technologies presented and an atmosphere of trust, demonstrating that the sector is truly beginning the desired orderly deployment, with nearly 20 plants already in operation and hundreds of projects in their final stages of processing.”
Javier Díaz, president of AVEBIOM
At the congress , the need for social acceptance of the projects was repeated like a mantra , and there was unanimous agreement that the support of the primary sector would be crucial. For farmers and ranchers, biogas and biomethane plants are even a "relief," in the words of one sector representative, and the best proposal received to date for solving the problems of storing and applying livestock manure in the field and complying with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.
The public administrations present at the congress agreed that biomethane is already a strategic driver of the energy transition and that its deployment must be accelerated transparently and with the support of the agricultural sector to gain public acceptance. The Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) confirmed that it is working on fiscal measures and incentives for consumption , and regions such as Castile and León, Castile-La Mancha, Andalusia, and Catalonia presented their own plans to integrate biomethane into their energy strategies.
“ Biomethane confirms its role as a driver of sustainability and a key driver for the primary sector in our country. The trade fair has highlighted the capabilities of our companies and the need to move forward hand in hand with the agricultural sector to guarantee both social acceptance and the success of our projects. ”
Luis Puchades, president of AEBIG
