BIOSURF Deliverables

The Biosurf Project

The objective of BIOSURF (BIOmethane as SUstainable and Renewable Fuel) is to increase the production and use of biomethane (from animal waste, other waste materials and sustainable biomass), for grid injection and as transport fuel, by removing non-technical barriers and by paving the way towards a European biomethane market.

Comprehensive guidelines for establishing national biomethane registries BIOSURF-D3.1

Technical-administrative proposal to EC for declaring natural gas network as a single, closed mass-balancing system with respect to biomethane cross-border transactions BIOSURF-D3.2

Guidelines for creating the European Biomethane Guarantees of Origin BIOSURF-D3.3

Technical-economic analysis for determining the feasibility threshold for tradable biomethane certificates BIOSURF-D3.4

Market survey on determining the market accepted threshold for the value of tradable biomethane certificates BIOSURF-D3.5

Proposal for the establishment of national and European biomethane certificate trading platforms BIOSURF-D3.6

Report on the practical experiences with the application of the European biomethane standards BIOSURF-D3.7

REGATRACE Deliverables

The REGATRACE project (REnewable GAs TRAde Centre in Europe) has started in June 2019 and aims at creating an efficient trade system, based on issuing and trading biomethane/renewable gases Guarantees of Origin (GoO). This will strongly contribute to the uptake of the European common biomethane market. For more information, you are welcome to visit the project website: www.regatrace.eu
