As 2024 draws to a close, the biogas sector stands at a crossroads, with renewed attention on its transformative potential for energy systems. In gasworld’s Festive Fireside Chats series, we spoke to David Hurren, Renewable Energy Consultant at DAH Renewable Consultancy and a member of Gasworld’s Editorial Advisory Board, about the evolving landscape of biogas, the lessons of 2024, and what lies ahead.

Evidence is mounting, he explained, that biogas could contribute far more than previously projected to future energy scenarios. “Early forecasts suggested no more than 9 or 10 terawatt hours of biogas, but there’s quite a lot of suggestion to say that an order of magnitude of that wouldn’t be unreasonable to expect.”
