BIOMAPE — Biomethane Market Acceleration and Uptake in Europe — has officially launched as a new Horizon Europe initiative coordinated by ISINNOVA. Bringing together leading experts from across Europe, BIOMAPE will drive forward the production and use of biomethane, helping to build a stronger market and accelerate Europe’s clean energy transition.
The initiative kicked off in Dublin in early December 2025, where project partners came together to define priorities, align methodologies and set the course for the next three years. The opening meeting was followed by the first BIOMAPE Technical Workshop, which gathered consortium members, industry representatives and Irish renewable energy stakeholders to exchange knowledge and explore the policy, market, technical and social factors shaping biomethane development.
Over the coming three years, BIOMAPE will help establish biomethane registries in five countries, support cross-border trade through reliable certificate management systems, and engage stakeholders in eight countries through workshops, site visits and dedicated social acceptability groups. By connecting policy, market design, technical expertise and community engagement, BIOMAPE aims to unlock the full potential of biomethane in Europe.
