According to the TSO estimates in the EU Green Revolution and Green Evolution
scenarios, the largest share of biomethane injection in 2037 will take place in Italy,
reaching up to 42%, and in the Netherlands, 24%. In 2037 Italy, France, United
Kingdom and the Netherlands could account for over 90% of biomethane supply in
Europe.
Power-to-gas
Irrespective to the approach to combine biomethane and power-to-gas technologies
statistically ENTSOG considers power-to-gas as an important technology to foster the
convergence of energy systems. Power-to-gas enables long-term storage and
efficient transport of excess of renewable energies discontinuously produced. For
the first time TYNDP dedicates a chapter to their contribution to the European ener-
gy transition (See Energy Transition chapter).
