Biogas has no one to produce it in Spain
Despite the great generation potential, Spain is at the bottom of Europe
🔋 Spain could cover around 40% of its natural gas needs with biomethane! However, this renewable energy source hasn’t taken off in Spain yet, compared to its growth in Europe. What’s holding it back?

M4BG - Micro4Biogas
Context Fossil fuels pollute our planet and are finite. The world is heading towards a global energy and climate crisis. Challenge We must promote renewable energies, develop
🦠 In Micro4Biogas we characterise and select the best microbial strains to optimise biogas production.
With this novel approach, we expect to make biogas an environmentally and economically feasible energy source for Europe ⚡
