Feedstock Categories Projects were also categorised according to sectors determined by the EU Green Gas Grids Project: 1. Sewage Sludge 2. Agricultural a. b. c. d.
Animal manure (slurry) Agricultural by-‐products and residues Crops for Energy Agricultural biomass is modelled as one sub-‐group as projects will oien contain elements of all 3 streams
3. Industrial Food Processing waste 4. Food Waste (commercial, domesKc, local authority) 5. Biodegradable waste (e.g. from an MBT plant or garden waste collected by local authority)

Biomethane to Grid Conclusions • It has taken 6 years but the regime looks good: • Over 20 projects in next 18 months is possible, all technologies • Majority of biomethane from waste feedstock • Need to focus on reducing capital costs • Green Gas CerKficates • •
CNG for trucks and buses and CHP/District HeaKng for new housing REAL not for profit GGCS scheme is helping to facilitate biomethane projects
The biomethane market is set to grow, delivering significant benefits and helping meet 2020 renewable energy targets
