Project description
Turning to green gas to power Europe’s energy independence
Many EU countries are heavily reliant on imported oil and gas, with a staggering 97 % natural gas import dependency rate. This makes the region particularly vulnerable to energy supply disruptions and market volatility. Additionally, EU natural gas production continues to decline, exacerbating the issue. To meet ambitious energy transition goals, the EU must adopt green gases like bio-syngas. The EU-funded SUPREMAS project aims to address this challenge by advancing European technology in bioenergy. SUPREMAS will develop cost-effective, modular syngas production units to process organic waste materials and produce electricity, heat, cooling and new materials. The project will test its solutions in Spain and Portugal and ensure successful implementation and replication across Europe
Objective
Many EU countries are net importers of oil and gas (in 2022 the EU’s natural gas import dependency rate was 97 %), and thus particularly exposed to energy reliability and market volatility risk. EU natural gas production is continuing its decreasing trend. As such the EU Agenda ambitious objectives, together with the external dependence on natural gas implies that green gases as syngas is essential in the energy transition. SUPREMAS in this framework is determined to advance the European technology leadership in bio-energy development fostering decentralized gas systems development and contributing to the energy transition for different use cases. SUPREMAS outcomes will enable circular value chains where multiple residues, discarded from different processes, will be valorized providing electricity, heat and cooling and new materials. SUPREMAS will develop cost-effective modular and movable syngas production units particularly suitable to treat sewage sludge, digestate and MSW as well as a Decision Support Tool supporting decision making and impact assessment. Environmental sustainability, and technical-economic viability of the proposed solutions will be validated through a demonstration campaign in two different EU countries (Spain and Portugal). Deep replicability assessment will be done and pre-feasibility analysis developed in 10 further Demosites across all over Europe. 6 Co-creation workshops will be organized to promote stakeholders engagement and communities involvement thus unlocking barriers and make it real SUPREMAS replication.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
