The National Energy System Operator has called for a strategic approach to biomethane production, warning that sustainable output can reach 30 TWh annually by 2050 without material dependencies or environmental trade-offs — but scaling beyond that threshold requires cross-sector assessment of competing land and feedstock priorities. Current UK biomethane injection stands at 6 TWh annually…
