CEDIGAZ’s annual report “Global Biomethane Market – 2025 Assessment” is now available, providing a comprehensive analysis of a rapidly evolving sector. The report details significant growth, with global renewable natural gas (RNG) production reaching 9.25 bcm in 2023 and forecasted to approach 12 bcm in 2024. Europe and North America remain the leading regions, while emerging markets such as Brazil, China, and India show promising momentum.

Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) in Gas Network Utilities – An International Perspective
Unaccounted for Gas (UFG) in gas network utilities, particularly methane emissions, is a significant yet often overlooked environmental and financial burden. The increasing concern about environmental issues has placed immense pressure on the oil and gas industry to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Methane, a potent GHG with up to 86 times the Global Warming Potential (GWP) of CO2, has garnered attention at COP26, where 105 countries signed the Global Methane Pledge, committing to a 30% reduction in methane emissions by 2030. It is evident that curbing methane emissions from gas networks holds immense potential for making a substantial impact on global climate change goals.
