Figure 18. Biomethane production cost in Europe 2024
91 E/Mwh. After production, biomethane must be injected into the gas grid, representing an estimated cost of about 5% of biomethane production costs, which range 3 - 4 E/Mwh. Alternatively, liquefaction has an estimated average cost of around 12 ∈/Mwh. In size category 2, feedstock (e.g., organic waste) from industries or public entities. (RD&l) in the biomass and bioenergy sector in the EU and globally, based on data collected by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in its member countries. It shows key trends, main investment categories and leading EU Member States, and provide an understanding of funding priorities in this Based on the IEA codification of the IEA (IEA, 2025) Energy Technology RDD (Research, Development and Demonstration), the JRC collected the budget codes: 342 (Production of solid biofuels), 343 (Production of biogas), 344 (Applications for heat and electricity), 345 (0ther biofuels) and 349 (Unallocated biofuels). Unallocated biofuels refer to techniques, processes, 34 and where it is not possible to estimate the split between two or more of the sub-categories.
