This may seem threatening to some quarters, but believe me it is not
The amount of fossil fuels that we must displace is such that we are not going to finish the energy transition in decades. The Secretary General of the UN, Antonio Guterres, has explained it with the phrase “everything, everywhere, all at once”. You have to do everything and everything at the same time, in all places. I give you an example. The ceramic industry in the province of Castellón alone consumes more than 15 TWh of gas per year. The biogas production capacity from residual sources that we calculated for the Valencian Community on the Valencian Biogas Route was 5.6 TWh/year, approximately one third. It is obvious that to decarbonize this sector we will need not only all the biogas we can produce, but also electrification or green hydrogen . The fact that biogas is not going to be used for air conditioning or barely in vehicles does not pose any problem for its producers because we have industries that are going to need everything that can be generated. Bioenergy is capable of generating virtuous cycles that imply more efficient waste management and result in rural development.
Bioenergy is not going to decarbonize the world nor can it hope to do so. Your chances are lower. But bioenergy is a perfect complement to renewable electrical energies such as wind and solar , since it serves and reaches where they cannot reach directly and they still do not know how to do it indirectly. Is there an industry that needs temperatures of 1,000 ºC? There is biomethane. Do we want to manufacture photovoltaic panels in a completely decarbonized way? That's where charcoal can come in. Sustainable aviation? Perhaps a third CZ Leads generation biofuel could have a place there. We are in a time of change and in a world full of needs and opportunities for all clean energies. Bioenergy must look for its role in this world and where it can contribute its differentiating factor. And in this world full of opportunities, thinking in terms of collaboration is much better than doing so in terms of competition. Searching for synergies between biomass and biogas projects and solar and wind projects may seem counterintuitive, but it could be an area to explore: can bioenergy generate permanent employment and feedback with the agricultural world, and can solar or wind energy contribute its efficiency? and its ability to generate positive economic impacts? Could rural development projects be created with both energies? These are things to try and they will surely offer us interesting results.
We are in a time of change and in a world full of needs and opportunities for all clean energies. Bioenergy must look for its role in this world and where it can contribute its differentiating factor. Because in the end the energy transition is about many things, but above all about a fundamental one that we tend to forget: Imagination, the ability to imagine novel solutions and visualize a better world. And in this, bioenergy has at least as much to say as other energies. There are still many challenges ahead of us to achieve the climate neutrality goals in 2050, but the paradigm shift of this latest summit marks the way forward: reduction of fossil fuels and increase of renewable energies. biogas from WWTPs, which continues to enjoy good health in the urban sanitation sector, recognized and used for years by service operators, has opened new possibilities of use that will allow it to complement the existing ones within the sector. sanitation, always with the objective of making the public service of urban sanitation more efficient in terms of cost while contributing to the European objective of achieving a carbon-neutral Europe in the year .
