Global Biogas News Round-Up | March 2026
Curated by the World Biogas Association, the Global Biogas News Round-Up brings you the latest and most important stories from the world of biogas.
Biogas news in a nutshell
From major supply chain partnerships in Asia and expanding RNG portfolios in North America, to new funding mechanisms unlocking climate finance for smallholder farmers, the industry is seeing rapid diversification and innovation. At the same time, policymakers across Europe, Australia and beyond are advancing regulatory frameworks, blending mandates and certification schemes to support long-term market growth and decarbonisation targets.
