Earlier this summer, Gas Matters explored the threat to natural gas posed by emerging disruptive technologies in the power market. Now we turn our attention to another potential competitor: biomethane, AKA “renewable natural gas”. Chemically identical to the oil-associated hydrocarbon, it can be injected into the grid or used in place of natural gas in the transport market. Experts believe production could double over the next decade; Gas Matters examines the potential for biomethane production growth and asks whether the conventional gas industry has anything to fear.
