Biomethane Day Greece

Greece is emerging as a key country for biomethane development.

While the Greek biomethane market is still in its early stages, upcoming support schemes signal a promising future.

Greece’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) aims to increase biomethane production to 2.1 TWh/year by 2030 and 9.7 TWh/year by 2050.

Biomethane Day Greece will focus on several key areas:

• The current state of biogas production in Greece and its recent rapid growth.
• New regulatory frameworks and incentives designed to boost biomethane production, including expected support schemes.
• Key aspects of building plants: raw material availability, best technology choices, financing, and biomethane’s final use.
• The role of biomethane in Greece’s energy transition and its potential to decarbonize the gas network and transport sector.

The conference will feature panel discussions with experts and decision makers and will provide a unique platform for industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss the future of biogas and biomethane in Greece.

Attendees will have the chance to network with key players in Greece’s biomethane market and discuss the next steps to ensure biomethane's successful integration into the national energy mix.

*The event is open with free entrance ​

**The conference will have simultaneous translation (Greek-English/English-Greek)
