Descrizione del progetto
Eliminare le barriere all’introduzione del biometano per l’utilizzo nei veicoli e nelle reti del gas
I gas rinnovabili, come il biometano, sono considerati una grande fonte di energia alternativa per un futuro a basse emissioni di carbonio. Il comitato tecnico CEN 408 ha sviluppato delle specifiche per il biometano (EN16723-1 per il biometano da immettere nelle reti di gas naturale ed EN16723-2 per l’utilizzo come carburanti nei trasporti), ma i metodi di prova citati non sono armonizzati e convalidati. Il progetto BIOSTAR2C, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di eliminare le barriere che impediscono l’introduzione del biometano per l’utilizzo nelle reti del gas e nei veicoli. Il lavoro del progetto contribuirà a garantire l’ottimizzazione dei costi di immissione del biometano e aumenterà la fiducia accordata agli investimenti nella produzione e nell’immissione del biometano. Le attività del progetto saranno in linea con l’obiettivo del partenariato industriale per il biometano di aumentare la produzione e l’uso annuale di biometano a 35 miliardi di metri cubi entro il 2030.
Obiettivo
This project marks the completion (Phase 2c) of a programme of work delivered in support of CEN and Technical Committee CEN/TC408 initiated by DG Ener, aimed at revision of the standards for and therefore removal of barriers to introduction of biomethane into gas networks and vehicles.
By ensuring that the appropriate standards are fit for purpose at time of revision, the work will ensure that costs of biomethane injection are optimized, and there are no undue burdens on producers. This work is expected to enable growth of the biomethane industry and confidence that investments can be made in biomethane production and injection. It will therefore help to ensure the removal of barriers to achieving the RePowerEU target of 35BCM of biomethane by 2030 by aligning needs of producers, transporters and end users.
The programme is therefore highly relevant in advancing regulatory work for greening the gas grid under the Green Deal. It is also relevant for implementing RED II with maximum impact.
In cooperation with CEN TC 408, its stakeholder community and DG Energy, GERG has developed and has been delivering a workprogramme to address the removal of barriers identified which will enable standardization:
Phase 1 - funded by GERG members to identify barriers
SA/CEN/RESEARCH/475/2017-07 (2018-2019) – Phase 2a - experimental work on siloxanes, and a literature study on impacts of sulfur, impacts of oxygen, particularly related to underground storage and corrosion, and health impacts.
SA/CEN/RESEARCH/475/2019-09 (2020-2022, Phase 2b, ongoing) – continued experimental work on siloxanes, commencement of experimental campaign on sulphur, and on oxygen impacts. Improving specific knowledge on biomethane at the European level, particularly in relation to impact of feedstocks,
The project proposed here (2022-2024, Phase 2c) - Completion of the experimental and literature campaigns begun in Phase 2b to support the delivery by CEN TC 408 and update of the standards.
