Energy experts discuss biogas and grid transformation in Spain

Industry experts, regulators, and agricultural representatives gathered at the Barrax Rural e Innovation Hub to discuss the challenges and opportunities of biogas technology. The discussions focused on using organic waste from agriculture and livestock to produce biomethane, which can be injected into the energy system. Proponents noted that biomethane serves as a renewable energy vector that enhances supply security and promotes circularity by converting local waste into value for farmers and citizens.

In Barcelona, the Innovation Day Energia addressed the broader transformation of the energy system. Participants examined the complexities of integrating higher levels of renewable energy, managing increased electrification, and addressing the need for grid flexibility and storage. The event aimed to bridge the gap between scientific research and commercial scalability, featuring presentations from startups and spin-offs to foster investment and technological development in the energy sector.
