Brussels, July 2024
As of May this year, ERGaR is part of an additional EU funded project called SUPREMAS (Syngas modular Units Providing Renewable Energy from Multiple wAstes and for different useS) ♻️
What’s the project about?
Many EU countries are net importers of oil and gas (in 2022 the EU’s natural gas import dependency rate was 97 %), and thus particularly exposed to energy reliability and market volatility risk. EU natural gas production is continuing its decreasing trend. As such the EU Agenda ambitious objectives, together with the external dependence on natural gas implies that green gases as syngas is essential in the energy transition. SUPREMAS in this framework is determined to advance the European technology leadership in bio-energy development fostering decentralized gas systems development and contributing to the energy transition for different use
cases.
SUPREMAS outcomes will enable circular value chains where multiple residues, discarded from different processes, will be valorized providing electricity, heat and cooling and new materials. SUPREMAS will develop cost-effective modular and movable syngas production units particularly suitable to treat sewage sludge, digestate and MSW as well as a Decision Support Tool supporting decision making and impact assessment.
What’s ERGaR’s role in the project?
To design the syngas/syngas blended gas market, taking into consideration external factors as network regulation and CO2 market. A second task is to develop policy recommendations to support market traction and to create a favorable EU legal framework for the production and integration of syngas in the energy system.
