National Biogas strategy 2.0

Biogas is a unique asset for society - and more important than ever. In practice, biogas is a circular economy, where waste produced by the community is transformed into renewable energy and biofertiliser. At the same time, biogas contributes to achieving society's environmental and climate goals. Security of supply, jobs and growth are other important socio-economic benefits.

The purpose of the strategy is to contribute to achieving Sweden’s established goals within the majority of prioritised policy areas through increased use of biogas within the transportation, industrial and co-generation sectors. The goal is to achieve at least 15 TWh use of biogas in Sweden by 2030. This requires funding and action from several players; Government and Parliament, authorities, municipalities and regions, as well as the industry itself.

In addition to the Swedish Gas Association, several of the bigger players in the biogas industry have been involved in the development of the strategy, both in terms of funding and content.
