Response from Abel Clemente: There are many opportunities yet to come in Mexico due to new legislation in place. The new laws and regulations are considering the use of residual biomasses to obtain either biogas or biomethane upon specific energy applications.

Response from Abel Clemente: Through distributed generation, the Federal Administration is considering boosting the biogas and biomethane industry in Mexico for decarbonization and circular economy purposes. Biogás/biomethane is expected to be used for both clean electrical power generation and green heat mainly in industrial applications. At…

Response from Ahto Oja: it was possible before, but not anymore according to the EU RED III legislation now there is only 1 unified CI score for biomethane.

Response from Ahto Oja: In fact, currently any biomethane injection doesn’t take place yet in Estonia. My current understanding is that theoretically the biomethane PoS export is possible also without physical injection and without exporting the GO (biomethane molecules), but I also got the understanding that in future it will not be possible…

Response from Ahto Oja: to purify the off gas CO2 and sell it, to sell the digestate as fertilizer, gate fees for the feedstock, which dumping is costly

Response from Padraig Fleming: Currently we think we will meet about 25% of our current gas demand from biomethane. It is difficult to be certain about the exact volume of gas that can be produced this early in the development of the industry. Our expectation is that we will have to meet the balance of our decarbonisation with the use…

Response from Ahto Oja: in Estonian case we have national biomethane register/trading platform managed by TSO Elering and producers report them.

Response from Padraig Fleming: We will be looking for the IT solution for this later this year. My understanding is that we will have to link our data base as the National Statutory certifying body to the UDB. I am not expecting that Producers will have to link with the UDB, but I will need to confirm this.

Response from Padraig Fleming: For us in Ireland, I think the biggest challenge is the route to market. Countries in the European Union that have really accelerated biomethane production have either put a Feed-in Tariff or Offtake contracts from Government into the market. This has provided certainty to Producers to be able to sell their…

Response from Padraig Fleming at Gas Networks Ireland:In Gas Networks Ireland we have tried to be proactive in progressing items like developing connection policies, market activations and targeting some innovation funding at the market. These steps are important as policies are essential to be ahead of the market, otherwise it will…

As a gas network operator, what is the greatest contribution your company can make to progressing the Irish market?

What is the single biggest challenge to growing the biomethane Industry?

How will you be connected to the UDB? Will you use your own national databases, or will producers and farmers have to report directly to the UDB?

low-carbon networks in Ireland, does this mean that all biomethane produced in Ireland will be consumed in Ireland for electricity and heat production (or for consumption in transport)? In other words, will Ireland meet its national targets with its own biomethane production?

What are some additional market opportunities for biogas plants to diversify their activities and income?

If I understand correctly, in Estonia it is only possible to export biomethane if the biomethane station is connected to the TSO network?

How do you calculate emissions in Estonia if co-digestion of, for example, corn silage and manure is used? Is it possible to determine them separately for each share, as is possible in Nabisy?

What is expected of biogas and biomethane in Mexico and how do you plan to promote this sector in the industry?

From your perspective, what are the challenges and opportunities for the participation of private companies (national or foreign) in the biogas and biomethane market in Mexico?
