Bio-natural gas (biomethane from rural and urban organic waste)

Renewable gas made by anaerobic fermentation and upgrading of crop straw, manure and other organic waste — China targets over 10 billion m³ a year by 2025 and over 20 billion m³ by 2030, moving from household scale to large pilots since 2015.

1 · What it gives

Bio-natural gas is a green, low-carbon renewable gas produced by anaerobic fermentation and purification of urban and rural organic waste such as crop straw and livestock manure. It has moved from household scale to large pilot projects since 2015, with regional commercial operations such as the Funan model in Anhui. China aims at over 10 billion cubic metres a year by 2025 and over 20 billion by 2030.
