Online Workshop: Florence School of Regulation

This online workshop organized by the Florence School of Regulation, will provide policymakers with a structured overview of how biomethane policy frameworks are evolving in Europe.

This workshop is for policymakers exclusively.

It will focus on national support architectures, the implementation of the EU decarbonised gas framework, and the interaction between energy, agricultural and environmental policy.

Participants will explore why biomethane support may be needed, which market failures, risks and barriers still affect deployment, and how different support instruments can be combined into coherent national policy frameworks. The workshop will also place biomethane support schemes in the broader context of recent EU gas market reforms, including the Hydrogen and Decarbonised Gas Market Package and their implications for infrastructure access, market integration and regulatory coordination

The final part of the programme will look beyond energy policy, considering how agricultural regulations can enable or constrain biomethane deployment. Through expert presentations and discussion, participants will reflect on how national frameworks can be designed in a way that is effective, coherent and compatible with the broader EU policy framework.

The workshop is hosted in the context of the European Biomethane Week.
