Respond to this consultation

Summary

DESNZ opens consultation on future policy framework for biomethane production, seeking evidence on support mechanisms beyond current schemes. The call for evidence runs until an unspecified date and covers policy options for scaling biomethane injection into gas networks. This focuses on gas infrastructure rather than electricity markets.

Why it matters

Redistributive policy addressing gas supply rather than electricity market structure. Biomethane support treats symptoms of expensive gas by subsidising alternative supply, but does not address fundamental grid or electricity market constraints.
