Interactive map of global biogas and biomethane potential
This map provides a first-of-a-kind analysis of the sustainable technical potential of biogas and biomethane supply globally. This assessment considers more than 30 types of feedstocks. They can be broadly grouped together as crop residues, animal manure, biowaste and woody biomass. Only feedstocks that can be used without direct competition with food production or animal feed, and that avoid adverse sustainability impacts, are included.
