Green Gas Tour
From June to September 2018, the Green Gas Tour reached out to those working to develop renewable gas in France and in Europe. For the first time, the experiences and beliefs of more than 100 public or anonymous stakeholders are brought together in a single volume: the Green Gas Book. This work demonstrates the unique position of renewable gas and the services it provides for climate, economic and agricultural issues in all of our territories.
Biomethane is a sector in which agricultural, territorial, energy and climate issues intersect. These issues highlight the complementarity between urban and rural territories, agriculture and energy as part of the circular economy and the decarbonisation process. Many stakeholders spanning the world of agriculture, environmental associations, politicians, local authorities, NGOs and civil society share the firmly held ambition that renewable gas is a solution for the future.
The Green Gas Book is a place where stakeholders involved in building the sector can express themselves freely.
The hundred testimonials collected during the Green Gas Tour are grouped into six major themes presenting the positive impacts of renewable gas for our society:
- Choosing agricultural biomethane production means choosing more sustainable agriculture
- Green gas is a genuine ecological asset
- Promoting the use of the circular and solidarity economy
- The emergence of a sustainable economic model
- No energy transition without a diversified energy mix
- Strong potential for industrial development
Each of these sections consists of reports, interviews, viewpoints, forums or expert opinions.
“We wanted to demonstrate through this book that renewable gases are a key element of the National Low Carbon Strategy,” says Olivier Dauger, President of France Gaz Renouvelables.
“This collection is an opportunity to improve people’s understanding and knowledge of this sector, which is still little known or undervalued by the various stakeholders,” adds Jacques-Pierre Quaak, President of France Gaz Renouvelables.
