Biomethane efforts gaining traction

Increased policy support, improved government regulations to boost development

Biomethane, the purified biogas derived from the decomposition of organic matter, will see accelerated development in China, due to refinement of government regulations and increased policy support, industry experts said.

China's national standards for biomethane quality, which will probably have clear requirements on biomethane production, storage, transportation, and injection into the natural gas network, are currently under review, and set to be released within a few weeks, according to a source close to the matter who did not want to be identified.
