Als onderdeel van het SYSTEMIC project is er onderzoek gedaan naar beleid, wet- en regelgeving rondom anaerobic digestion and biogas production in de verschillende EU- landen. In dit rapport, gepubliceerd in mei 2019, zijn de resultaten te vinden.
Content:
Chapter 1 deals with European Policies which are followed by European Regulations that must be enforced by all Member States as they are in chapter 2. Chapter 3 refers to European Directives which must be adopted by Member States but not literally. Directives typically stipulate a target but leave room for selecting the strategy and pathway by the Member State.
Chapter 4 briefly deviates from legislation and provides – extracted from the EBA Annual Reports – statistical information on the regional development of electricity from biogas and biomethane production in Europe clearly showing Germany in the lead but higher recent dynamics regarding biomethane in France and Nordic countries. In chapter 5 the report returns to legislation in Member States, starting with comprehensive information on the countries with demonstration plants. Chapter 6 deals with legislation in countries with outreach plants and chapter 7, finally, gives an overview of all Member States.
