BIOMETHANE DAY GREECE

Wednesday, 28th January, 2026

Wyndham Grand Athens Hotel,
Meg. Alexandrou 2, 104 37,
Athens, Greece

Greece is emerging as a key country for biomethane development.

While the Greek biomethane market is still in its early stages, upcoming support schemes signal a promising future. Greece’s National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) aims to increase biomethane production to 2.1 TWh/year by 2030 and 9.7 TWh/year by 2050.

Where to start in developing this sector?

Find the answers at the first-ever Biomethane Day Greece, organized by Biomethane RNG Channel, the only video channel dedicated to biomethane.

This pivotal conference will provide a unique platform for industry leaders, policymakers, and stakeholders to discuss the future of biogas and biomethane in Greece.

With recent advancements and new support measures, the event will explore the sector's vast potential, particularly in light of Greece’s plans to create a full-fledged biomethane market.

Biomethane Day Greece will focus on several key areas:

-The current state of biogas production in Greece and its recent rapid growth.

-New regulatory frameworks and incentives designed to boost biomethane production, including expected support schemes.

-Key aspects of building facilities: raw material availability, best technology choices, financing, and biomethane’s final use.

-The role of biomethane in Greece’s energy transition and its potential to decarbonize the gas network and transport sector.

In addition to informative presentations, the conference will feature panel discussions with experts and decision-makers. Attendees will have the chance to network with key players in Greece’s biomethane market and discuss the next steps to ensure biomethane's successful integration into the national energy mix.

Don't miss this opportunity to be part of Greece’s green energy revolution!

*The conference will have simultaneous Greek-English/English-Greek translation.*
