Webinar Recording: The Role of Biomethane in the GHG Protocol Framework
As the voluntary market for biomethane – also known as renewable natural gas (RNG) or compressed biogas (CBG) – certificates expands, the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol remains a key factor in shaping its future. However, current guidance on biomethane’s role within the framework remains unclear. With an ongoing revision of the GHG Protocol, the industry has a crucial opportunity to address this uncertainty and advocate for greater clarity.
To explore this topic, the World Biogas Association (WBA), in collaboration with ERGaR, the European Biogas Association (EBA), Eurogas, and the Coalition for Renewable Natural Gas (RNG Coalition), hosted a high-level webinar bringing together experts from across the sector.
